Livingston Taylor [JD 350]
| |
Livingston Taylor picked up his first guitar at the age of thirteen, beginning a forty-year career in performance, songwriting and teaching. Born in Boston and raised in North Carolina, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical family. Livingston recorded his first record at 18 and has continued to create well-crafted, introspective and original songs that have earned him listeners worldwide. Last Alaska Moon is the latest addition to Livingston's catalog featuring musicians whom Taylor calls the best on the planet, among them, Steve Gadd, Leland Sklar and Vince Gill. Livingston's latest album, Last Alaska Moon, was recorded in Nashville. It features key members of the Alison Krauss band Union Station, as well as pop/country players. For Taylor, the album takes a partial departure from the more contemplative ballads in the Taylor tradition. It bears the bluesy, devil-may-care attitude of Nashville and shows just how versatile Taylor can be. Last Alaska Moon is released by Coconut Bay, a division of Chesky Records. |
