"An evening with Eric Taylor is more than just a gig, more than a singer-songwriter playing a handful of great songs, songs we have become so familiar with over the years. An evening with Eric Taylor is an emotive experience, a little glimpse into a world of carnivals and Kerouac, highways and Hemmingway, bar rooms and Birdland. A world where even Louis Armstrong has a broken heart. A worthwhile experience for everybody I would say." -- Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky

| On The Road "I had the pleasure of seeing Eric at The Old Brewery, Cromarty and of meeting him post gig. I've been going to pretty much all the gigs...at the old brewery since it kicked off three years ago and this was hands down the best - a real privilege. Probably one of the best gigs I've ever seen in fact. You knew from the first three notes that this was going to be an exceptional, really special evening. I didn't know Eric's work before the gig but now I, like quite a lot of people in the town, are complete converts. Please include Cromarty on your next European tour." -- Fraser (Cromarty, Scotland, October 2009) "Eric put on a great show and the crowd had a blast. Some poetry was made along with a little magic. And lots of good laughs in between." -- Steve's Guitars (CO, August 2009) |
| "There is no sense that Taylor is an imitator. This is a man whose larger-than-life talent sets the agenda, rather than following it. With a simple heel tap for rhythm and a voice of velvet brushed backwards, he gracefully picks a gutsy soundtrack from his custom-made Ross-Kinscherff Dreadnought guitar and holds his audience entranced." -- The Press and Journal |
|
"Eric Taylor has been one of the finest southern songwriters for more than three decades." -- Sing Out!

"If you find yourself reacting in the adverse to Taylor's music, I'll ask you to buck up and really listen because the one thing that keeps him at the top of his game as one of our best living songwriters is his compassion. It's in every song." -- Christy Claxton, Peace from the Porch
