Great American Taxi offering free track from upcoming release!
Great American Taxi, which features Leftover Salmon frontman Vince Herman, is gearing up to release their sophomore effort "Reckless Habits." With the official release date yet to be announced Taxi has decided to offer up a free download of "Unpromised Land" (labeled as "Whiskey" on a lot of Taxi bootlegs from the past couple of years) from their latest studio work, which was recorded in December of 2008 and produced by Railroad Earth's Tim Carbone. The album also boasts guest appearances by Barry Sless on pedal steel for a good chunk of the record, Carbone on fiddle for a few tracks, Matt Flinner playing banjo on the aforementioned free download, the Black Swan Gospel Singers and the Peak to Freak Horns .. tunes. Phil Nicolo, multi-grammy winning engineer and producer also lent his talents to the mix and mastering of the record at his fabled Studio 4.
Needless to say Taxi has swung for the fence on this one and the result is nothing short of pure Americana bliss. Follow the link below to get a taste of what GAT has in store from their newest release.

“All aboard!” You’ll hear Vince Herman shout this out at a Great American Taxi show and after you know a little bit more about this band you’ll know why. Herman (of Leftover Salmon infamy) and Chad Staehly (keyboards, vocals) have been driving the Taxi based out of Nederland, CO around the United States for over four years now. The line-up has evolved and Herman and company have been known to grab an extra rider or two along the way. The core line-up has been solidified with Jim Lewin of Santa Cruz, CA on electric guitars and vocals, along with the new rhythm section provided by Chris Sheldon on drums and Brian Adams on bass (both toured extensively in the Phish tribute band Phix). On any given night the audience is encouraged to jump on board and join in the festivities. At many performances GAT has been known to show up with some extra all-stars in the band as well including such musical luminaries as Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead, Todd Snider, Barry Sless, Papa Mali, Coolio (yes, 90's rap star icon), Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth, and the list goes on.
Great American Taxi brands their music “Americana without borders.” Taxi definitely knows no boundaries and their 21st century brand of Americana music is sure to get you dancing and singing along. Diving into an ever expanding repertoire of their own carefully crafted electric folk music along with a great catalog of influential Folk, Americana, Bluegrass and Rock songs, all in attendance will find something to latch onto at a Taxi show. Whether you grew up listening to Gram Parsons, the Grateful Dead, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, Bill Monroe, Willie Nelson or Woody Guthrie, plan on taking a great American musical journey. All you have to do is pay the fare, get in the Great American Taxi, and enjoy the trip. Keep track of updates, tour dates and other news at www.greatamericantaxi.com .
