 Taylor Scott Band (from the album All We Have available as a self-release)
Sparing a thought for the All We Have album title, Taylor Scott opens his recent release with a 30 second PSA, offering wisdom as ‘the day-to-day is all we have’. Backing his words with organ and tambourine, Taylor’s voice is center stage, foregoing the need to shine in the spotlight and subtly rolling out the songs with Soul on steroids that flows from his vocals on full display. The momentary light breath of music that the Taylor Scott Band use to soundtrack their opening monologue is an island of calm that prefaces the wriggling guitar licks leading into “Somebody Told Me”, the vocal a Soul shout that speaks of spirit as the Taylor Scott Band lay out funky footsteps as a foundation for the message. All We Have picks out a sunshine groove for the Southern Soul of “Salted Watermelon”, scratches strums to spark the hammering rhythms of “Carry Me Away”, and lays back on a smooth current as “The Walk” sails on a lightly jazzed-up dreamscape. The beat shudders with anticipation before settling to a gallop that tears across “Curiosity” as All We Have tosses storyline coins into the steady rolling rhythms of “Wishing Well”, quiets the percussive stammer of “Clearance Bin” to share secret wishes through memories. Produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), All We Have We Have spins the style wheel for the songs, Taylor Scott’s voice remaining the constant as the soundscapes. The Taylor Scott Band are joined by Henry Garza on a Latin Jazz-tinged rock patter for “Hair of Indigo”, make a list of “Good Things” a rambling rhythm, and wonder “Where We Are Going” on a confident Country Rock-fueled stride.
