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. In 1977 Taylor was a winner of the "New Folk" competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival. Taylor has headlined the prestigious Newport Folk Festival, played National Public Radio’s "Mountain Stage" and has appeared on both "Late Night With David Letterman" with Nanci Griffith and "Austin City Limits" with Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and Robert Earl Keen.

"Olney stands out LIKE A JALAPENO IN A BOWL OF VANILLA PUDDING in Nashville. One Tough Town, A BRILLIANT SAMPLING OF AMERICAN MUSIC from blues and rockabilly to New Orleans swing and NOIR FOLK, adds another top-notch effort to a prolific string of fine records. "Sweet Poison" is a shot of rockabilly so stout it should make most of the current crop of pompadoured fakers sell their instruments and go back to 40-hour weeks at Burger King. ... a TRUE GENIUS of American song."-Houston (TX) Press
