NASHVILLE, TN - The newly formed Wayne Taylor and Appaloosa, spearheaded by Wayne Taylor, a twenty four year U.S. Navy veteran who lead the Navy's high profile Country Current Band for over two decades, release their debut album titled Wayne Taylor and Appaloosa this month on Taylor's Raincoe Music.
Early copies have been sent to radio and Jim Beaver of WHUS Bluegrass Cafe says, "After years of getting promising but brief glimpses of Wayne Taylor wherever the Navy's Country Current performed, we are now fortunate to have Wayne fronting his own band and unleashing his prodigious songwriting talent and bluegrass vocal chops unfettered on bluegrass fans at large. Wayne's smooth yet dynamic renditions of his original material might just bring more music lovers into the bluegrass fold."
As leader and musical ambassador for the U.S. Navy, Taylor spent years as head
emcee, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, playing country and bluegrass music and taking bluegrass music around the world, playing to high profile entertainers, 4 U.S. Presidents, and government officials along the way. However, it is his genuine love for bluegrass music, fueled by his North Carolina upbringing, that has shaped his newest musical ambitions.
Now, having retired from the U.S. Navy in the Spring of 2008, Taylor is leading this band that showcases the stellar talents of Emory Lester on mandolin, Dave Giegerich on dobro, Kip Martin on bass, and Mark Delaney on banjo. The debut album, featuring Taylor's expert songcrafting, is loaded with lyrics and melodies that hit right at the heart of a bluegrass music lovers soul.
