Taylor Pie

When I was 9 years old, I started guitar lessons with Dick Gordon in Tulsa, OK. Back then I was known as Susan Taylor, since that’s what my mom named me. I can remember being so shy when I was a kid that I could only sing songs to the family while standing behind grandmother’s kitchen door. But with Dick’s help, by the ripe old age of 10, I was performing at the recitals and concerts he produced. My favorite singer to emulate was Elvis Presley (because he was just too cool), and as I recall, one night at the Tulsa IOOF hall, I’d just started one of Elvis’ tunes, “Love Me”, when I stopped to grab the microphone (like I’d seen Elvis do), when a woman in the front row squealed loudly! I’m sure she thought it would thrill me, but it scared me so badly that Dick had to step in and help me recover so I could finish the song!

Albums by Taylor Pie:

Live at Hondos
Taylor Pie with Eben Wood

Eben and I debuted many of the songs off the new album at Hondo’s on Main, the evening of June 10. Besides the “So Little Has Changed” album, we also performed songs from a live CD of our last visit to Hondo’s back in October of 2006. It’s Eben’s and my first “Live” effort and I hope it will soon be followed by a DVD. Because of Hondo’s owner, Cris Graham, and the great staff and bartender, J.P., this venue is one of our favorite places to play and if you are ever in the area, I highly recommend their Texas style Ruben!

So Little Has Changed

This newest offering is a classic gem! Recorded in Nashville, TN, at Jack’s Tracks, the list of musicians is small, but impressive. Each one is an artist in their own right. Dave Pomeroy was on bass, Kenny Malone, percussion, Eben Wood, acoustic lead guitar, and Russ Pahl, pedal steel and electric guitar. The approach was to create an improvisational feel with little or no overdubbing, so one hears exquisitely pure arrangements of finely crafted songs. These musicians support Pie’s superb vocals with perfect sensitivity and taste, and with co-producer Mark Miller at the board mixing, and Don Cobb and Eric Conn of Independent Mastering in Nashville sprinkling magic dust for the final touch, this is Pie’s best album so far.
