Angels... |
|
'Thank God for Sean Taylor. The North Londoner has delivered a body of work in 'Angels' that kills the rumour that protest songs are a thing of the past. If there is any justice in the world, you will see Sean Taylor on the acoustic stage of every major festival during 2008' LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM (full review at www.myspace.com/seantaylorsongs) |

'fantastic ... doesn't waste a single note. Something that is as true when he's playing keyboards as it is when he's playing guitar as it is playing harmonica. 'Angels' builds on some great foundations. It provides a bitter harvest for the soul, but does so with ethereal beauty.'
