In 1999, Will Taylor began
collaborating with local and nationally-renowned musical artists, rearranging
their known material, bringing in his own crew of seasoned jazz and
contemporary roots musicians, and moved the performance venue from the
traditional smoky club scene to the beautiful interior and excellent
acoustics of a church sanctuary. Since then Will Taylor & Strings
Attached have presented over fifty concert collaborations to 10,000+ audience
members and countless more through KGSR and KLBJ live radio broadcasts, with
numerous appearances on KUT, KMFA and KOOP radio. Though individual members are
accomplished soloists, when teamed up as Strings Attached, the landscape
changes completely, as they expand the featured artist's vision into
other-worldly territory, without
sacrificing the intent or spirit of the original work. Will Taylor & Strings Attached
continue to create a body of work that is unique, polished, and captivating,
while showcasing individuals of outstanding vocal and musical talent in the
community. Strings Attached has
been hailed as one of the outstanding examples of what makes Austin the “Live
Music Capital of the World”. Photo

Music
of the 60’s and 70’s "Music
is a world within itself with a language that we all understand" on
"Sir Duke," his '76 tribute to Duke Ellington, his kaleidoscopic, pan
cultural musical philosophy was already firmly in place. In “A Case of
You,” the song is neatly divided in its ambivalence: each verse is about a
setback to the affair, followed by a chorus in which Joni affirms: "But
you are in my blood like holy wine." In comparing love to communion, Joni
(Mitchell) defines explicitly the underlying theme of (the album) Blue:
for her love has become a religious quest, and surrendering to loneliness a
sin. “I Feel the
Earth Move,” was one of six songs on the Tapestry
album that Carole King wrote entirely by herself. Considered by many to be one of the
greatest albums ever, Tapestry is the product of a musician with a
specific point of view and the ability to express it through a personal
style. It is an album that takes a stand: it doesn't balance one cut against
another, one style against another, one feeling against another. “Money,” comes from The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd's ninth album, and it is a
single extended piece rather than a collection of songs. It seems to deal
primarily with the fleetingness and depravity of human life, hardly the
commonplace subject matter of rock.
“Time,” “Money,” and “Us and Them,” are the keys to understanding the
album, if it can be understood.
