I'm not familiar with this dude but I sat and listened to his album this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. His real name is Taylor Kirk (remember it's important to have a stage name to protect your identity) and he makes music of a singer songwriter flavour. That particular flavour is a very bare bones ernest sounding one with it mainly being him and a guitar with the odd occasional piano creeping through. It's powerful stuff though for a formula you've heard a million times before it's good when someone comes along armed with their brain, mouth, hands and guitar and make something which has the power to make your hairs prick up on your hand. There's something very slightly Richard hawley ish about this but I think it's just the way his voice is recorded. It's timeless stuff with nods towards alt country and folk and I'd like to say it delivers. Mine's a pepperoni with extra onion Mr Kirk.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
