bright lights on my mind

Good times on the tour this weekend. We’ll start with the Dallas House of Blues show from Friday night and move on later this week to a return of the native to Orange Beach, where the real buzz is on the after-show, what’s reported to have been a blow-out at the Florabama with [...]

i’ve been travelling all around the world

Yes I have. With the Taylor Hicks Band. Aw, play it.

music, open discussion

something to talk about

For a lazy Saturday, a place to talk about whatever you want, if you happen to wander by here today.
You can take the lazy way to sing the blues.
Or, just sit back and watch a few videos from the Taylor Hicks concert at the Pageant in St. Louis last night (07/13/07)
Heaven Knows

You need to a [...]

live, music

i’ll be at your door someday

Over the past year (and presumably all along), Hicks has used the odd moment to sit in with other bands when his path crossed theirs. Though these are almost certainly done just for private pleasure, it’s interesting to us to see who he falls in with, and, if lucky, get a chance to hear some [...]

singing words between the lines

A set list is just a list of titles, it’s not music. There’s no real reason it should be any more indicative of creativity than a shopping list (though, come to think of it, maybe for a foodie, a shopping list is indicative of that). But, coming back from a week in which I was [...]

i believe in music…

…As long as I’m making my music, ain’t

have you got the mind?

What does science have to say about the endorphin rush I get from listening to Taylor Hicks?
Here’s an embedded YouMind’sEye video on the concept of imprinting: [Start video] We see a little gosling hatching from an egg, its shaky head turns and it sees a mother goose. Gosling imprints on mom, and we see an [...]

i’m worried alive

…and the whole time I was listening to soul music — music where you can actually hear a man’s heart break - Taylor Hicks
I didn’t realize it until about an hour ago, insomniac that I am, but I think it’s time for me to actually start talking about Taylor Hicks’ music on this blog.
But, where [...]

what did you say?

Anyone who’s listened to Hicks’ improv style knows that recognizing all the songs he teases in is a challenge. A few days ago, one of our readers mentioned that he or she’s been working on identifying one particular song tease for over a year. This came up on the post discussing “Texas Flood” because the [...]

the shingaling’s the thing

With Hicks’ set to headline the 2007 Niagara Wine Auction this Saturday, fans are wondering whether we’ll be able to adjust our tin foil hats well enough to penetrate the inner sanctum of this private event and get a reliable set list, or any set list. With actor/comedian/vintner Day Aykroyd hosting the event, it should [...]
