I don't think I've heard a song of his that I don't like, and he is as good live in a club as he is on record. He has usurped Ralph McTell as my "Best of British" choice. Jock |

11 Aug 01 - 04:09 PM (#525780) Subject: RE: Allan Taylor From: Murray MacLeod He is truly a magnificent songwriter (and performer). "Roll on the Day" is one of his best-known songs. I don't know if he tours much in America, if at all. He has a website with sound clips at www.allantaylor.com Murray |

His more recent songs seem to concentrate on 'navel-gazing', with little variety musically as well. For me, the only current songwriter who hardly ever disappoints is Brian McNeill. |

The Traveller is probably my personal all time fav. (It has been Bulmerised, but is one of the few he has put out). I also agree that Brian is one of only two writers I cannot find fault with, (i.e. no weak songs padding out the CD) the other is Jez Lowe. love, john. |
