Eric Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. If you're familiar with the intricate Texas singer/ songwriter jigsaw puzzle, you probably already know a lot about Taylor. If you're not familiar with Taylor by name, you've probably heard his songs performed by people such as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. He has created a multitude of fans and devotees that are legends themselves in the singer/songwriter realm, artists who have long considered Taylor to be a teacher and a lantern bearer whose time is long overdue.

Topics discussed include: What influenced him early in music, his early days in Houston, getting to know other songwriters, the art of songwriting in general, his particular style of songwriting,the times now in the world and if it affects his songwriting, his second career as a juggler and professional rollerskater, Eric's heart attack and subsequent affect on his life and songwriting, writing Whore House Mirrors for William Burroughs, taking notes and skywriting, becoming sober and his 14 year hiatus from touring.

Musical selections include:Two Fires, Birdland, The Peppercorn Tree, Hemmingway's Shotgun, Walkin' Back Home, Whore House Mirrors, Sweet Sunny South.

This program is "Evergreen" and not date specific.

Thank you

I saw Eric at a small venue in The Dalles, Oregon last summer. I'm trying to share his music with as many people as will listen. Thanks for producing and presenting this interview.
