The Beautiful Mystery of Terry Scott Taylor (Part 1)

On the eve of the release of his long-awaited and almost
overwhelming 21-song solo masterwork, This Beautiful Mystery,
singer/songwriter Terry Scott Taylor gives us a remarkably
transparent and vulnerable look into his creative and spiritual
formation as an artist. It’s impressive enough for any musician
to be producing the best work of their career in their seventies,
but what keeps a “restless creative” pushing so hard, and digging
so deep, after decades of relative obscurity and even direct
opposition? Between his work with the ground-breaking band Daniel
Amos, the collaborative Lost Dogs project, the light-hearted
Swirling Eddies spin-off, or his more personal solo work, Taylor
has set, and re-set, standards as a writer, an artist, and a
producer of others’ work. And yet so few people even know his
name.


 


In this first of two installments, we hear about Terry's roots,
his influences, and his general formation. In Part Two we will
explore This Beautiful Mystery in great detail; as both the
present culmination of a well-traveled journey and as a roadmap
for another generation of restless creatives looking to make
soulful sense in these crazy days.
