Taylor Hicks - Record Company Blues

[sriteisrite]

Taylor Hicks is the real deal!

[rajrae]

Wow, that is so incredible....

[oldikins]

The Distance comes out on March 10th. Give it a listen. Its more Taylor style. Also, check out the video Whats Right Is Right.

Check out my video of me singing.

[TaylorHicksNoOneFan]

Taylor you are the best.

Your new CD is awesome too.

If anyone hasn't bought it yet....get to Target and buy at least one. It was released August 12,2008 of course and all I can say is WOW.

Clive is going to rue the day he lost Taylor. He's got a fan in me for life.

[oldikins]

LOL Clive's the one who got the boot today. There is justice after all.

[dsstroud]

Clive sucks. If he would give this guy some money and a studio and leave him alone he could produce some great stuff. The thing about Taylor is he is authentic. The best compliment I think an artist can get.

[NotASheep]

Josh's guitar - "you send me!" and that gray-haired guy, well he's not too bad either! :-)

[artbychristine]

explain to me again why he was dropped... It's unreal.

Guess it's just too hard to sell MUSIC these days.

SEEK BEAUTY

[Pwells1]

The record label and him were fighting for creative control.

[jewelsinme]

He IS elvis . think about it. All the sex appeal is there.

Umm, the record company line is in Morrison's original...

[juliegr]

I always love these songs where Taylor tells the band to "play the blues" -- then it becomes "free-form Taylor". N-I-C-E. Josh Smith (guitar), Felix Pollard (drums), Al Carty (bass); Brian Less (organ). What a crew. Thanks for sharing.

[fixdonhicks]

WOW!!!!thanks so much for this video..too bad Clive only likes the cookie cutter types, you know, give them a mike and they all sound alike..now Taylor..that's REAL talent..anyone noticed that on the latest AI they've almost hidden Taylor in the opening credits??

[playtheblues2]

And you know thats right. Ladies and Gentlemen, Taylor Hicks, Josh Smith, Al Carty and the incomparable Brian Less on the piano playing the blues the way they got to be played. Play the blues... thats right...

[kskaro668]

Where has this been hiding? One of the best I have seen. He is so freaking talented that he makes everyone else look bad. Could that be part of the problem?

Record company blues. Cool.

[LibbyAH]

Great clip, don't think it has surfaced before - thank you so much.

Taylor has tagged a lot of Van Morrison so not sure what I think of the message idea. To borrow from a favorite blogger, sometimes there's no there, there. But certainly interesting to think about in hindsight.

[yesitsme9]

Wow. What a talent we have here! It must really suck to have no soul like those pigs at Clive's house. Oh well. There loss.

[Missy1027]

Sing the Blues, Taylor!!

[JCinShansSoul]

Wonderful video...thank you for always being positive!

IdolMashups...Van Morrison tags from St Dominic Preview

And we're over in a 52nd Street apartment,

Socializing with the whino few,

Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set.

But they're flying too high to see my point of view.

And the restaurant tables are completely covered.

The record company has paid out for the wine.

You got everything in the world you ever wanted

Right about now your face should wear a smile.

[IdolMashups]

Cochem, thanks for the info. I will edit my description

[claireb7tx]

interesting...I was at this concert and don't remember this song.  thanks for posting.

[oldikins]

We get the scrunchy face, the wailin',the gitar pickin, and the bluuuuuuues!

I have this video on my hard drive and it belongs to SoulKaren.
