Description

Tasha Taylor has always carried the torch for Soul and Blues. Now, with her dazzling third album, Honey For The Biscuit, the US singer/songwriter/musician unveils thirteen new songs that push her beloved genre into the spotlight.

As the daughter of R&B trailblazer and Stax giant Johnnie Taylor, Tashas genealogy is auspicious. And yet, while lesser talents might trade on that hallowed surname, Honey For The Biscuit is a personal statement bearing her own unique thumbprint.

Recorded in LA, Tasha was joined in the studio with the core band. Tasha Taylor (Vocals, guitar, percussion), Nathan Watts (bass), John Notto (guitar), Jon Taylor (guitar), Don Wyatt (piano/organ) and Munjungo Jackson (percussion), Gerry Brown, Ronald Bruner & Stanley Randolph (drums), and Jamelle Williams, Matthew DeMeritt, & Lemar Buillary (horns).

Honey For The Biscuit is a thrilling reboot of the great American genres, taking in soul, funk and every shade of blue. Special songs dovetail with special guests. Theres the light-footed guitar lick and gang chants of Family Tree (featuring Keb Mo). The handclaps and doo-wop refrain of Little Miss Suzie (Robert Randolph guesting on lap steel). The full-throttle, funky ode to a cheating man on Leave That Dog Alone (Samantha Fish supplying fiery guitar/vocals). The brassy belt of Same Old Thing (Tommy Castro at the microphone). I got very lucky and got some great friends to play, smiles Tasha. Nice honey for my record

In 2016, Tasha hits stages across Europe and America armed with Honey For The Biscuit: the breakout third record that realizes her potential, spreads the word about the genre she has always championed, and carries that magical surname into a bold new age. If one person leaves with a new favorite song, she considers, then Im happy

Tasha is on tour with Ruf Records Blues Caravan 2016.
