Description
Neil Taylor's star is only just beginning to shine in its own right, with its roots firmly planted in a career spanning three decades. As one of the UK's premier session guitarists, Neil has worked with an enviable array of artists, ranging from the likes of Robbie Williams, Tears For Fears, Rod Stewart, Natalie Imbruglia, Peter Gabriel and Tina Turner, to name a few.
For the past six years, Neil has been a lynchpin in the Robbie Williams band, touring the world with him several times over. It is arguably this time spent touring with Robbie that turned Neil's mind to becoming an artist in his own right. "You end up thinking, what's next? Surely it can't get any better than this!" Neil adds. The highs and lows of this time in his life have helped to inspire his own music.
His new album, 'No Self Control', is a gritty hark back at his career to date, and to the future that is yet to come. 'Just Walk Away' is the title track from this record, one that has gained notable appreciation among fans and critics alike. The bluesy hues of 'Blood From A Stone' draw the listener down to the depths of the dirty south, tacking another string on to Taylor's musical bow. This collection of songs utilizes all of Taylor's musical skill, masterfully combining rock, pop and blues throughout.
Taylor collaborated with song writer Steve Torch to create this album, initially to create an instrumental guitar record. Torch subtly suggested that Taylor should sing, bringing to bear the contemporary, rocky record that you hear today.
