Sean Taylor 'Calcutta Grove'

Calcutta Grove is what became of Eden, just as Revelations is where you are certain to hear a dog sharing secrets with a cat. We have all been buried alive and salvo is the testimony of dirt falling onto a coffin lid, while The Killing Floor is where life is bought and sold. We remain lost until our nightmares turn upon us like serpants sucking their own tails. I hold on because there is nothing else beyond the concept of irony. Freedom is just another word for being and the wife of the river merchant waits in translation. Tom the banker raises his hat in greeting and farewell.

Sean Taylor Jacques Derrida Blues

InfluencesI cannot abide trees that have been cut back and given arms that resemble the tarred stumps remaindered from the war between North and South, neither the manner which clouds fray, like soiled pennants, over and above everything. If I sound like anything it is the silence that deepens after the door to the soul has been closed.
Sounds LikeThe musicians I admire have all set themselves against the way things are: Tom Waits, JJ Cale, and John Martyn; Skip James, Marvin Gaye, and James Brown; Gillian Welch, Cat Power, and Mary Gauthier; Rainer Ptacek, Tinariwen, and Stevie Ray Vaughan; Neil Young, Calexico, and Iron & Wine
