Mick Taylor Quotes




Did you know about Mick Taylor?

He was a very fluent melodic player which we never had and we don't have now. A performance recorded on 1 June 1975 (which was finally released on CD in 2003 as "Live at the Manchester Free Trade Hall" by The Jack Bruce Band) and another performance from the Old Grey Whistle Test seem to be the only material available from this brief collaboration. Just before the release of the album in October 1974 Taylor told Nick Kent from the NME magazine about the new LP and that he had co-written "Till the Next Goodbye" and "Time Waits for No One" with Jagger.

"He is regarded by many Stones aficionados as the best musician ever to play with the band and appeared on some of their classic albums including Let It Bleed Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. He was ranked 37th in Rolling Stone magazine's 2012 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. " Since resigning from the Rolling Stones in December 1974 Taylor has worked with numerous other artists and released several solo albums.
