Taylor Hicks ~ I've Gotta Be Me ~ I Gotta Be Free

I have often thought how well this song by the great Sammy Davis Jr applies to Taylor Hicks. Thanks for always keeping it 'real' Taylor! Thank you for being yourself!
"To all my fans and The Soul Patrol,
I want to take a moment to talk about the recent news that my label and I have mutually parted ways," wrote Hicks.
"The important thing for all of you to remember is that I've been a working musician my whole life.
This is turning the page on a new chapter of my career.
Artistic freedom and control is an exciting prospect.
The things that are most important to me are creating my art, performing it, and my fans.
With the momentum that all of you have created over the years, Taylor Hicks is not going to stop anytime soon.
I've started working on the new album, writing and scheduling exciting collaborations.
The DVD, 'Whomp at the Warfield', is in it's final stages, and will be released soon.
So as one door closes, a new one opens for 2008 with more excitement for all my fans than ever before.
Sit tight, because the best is yet to come!"
And it's coming soon!! "The Distance" Taylor's new CD under his own label, Modern Whomp Records, is due out March 10th, 2009!

Pop over to TAYLORHICKS.COM for a listen to his first single to be released January 27th, 2009 - "What's Right Is Right"

Thank you skeeter for your Hagerstown video capture of Taylor's "The Maze" tags ... ah such sweet memories!

Awesome as ever, Taylor spreads his magic again. Voice, harp, and soul, what a combination of mesmerizing talent. He continues to grow in the years since AI and has developed an even stronger voice as he continues to reinvent himself in the entertainment world. He pulls us into his world as though we were stepping into the quick sand of bliss. Thank you.
