This guy's voice just won't quit. Taylor Hicks is his name, and he's a "blue-eyed soul" singer/songwriter from Birmingham, AL. A throwback to old-style R&B, his vocals just might blow you away. With more licks than a Tootsie Roll pop, comparisons have been made to Ray Charles and Joe Cocker; their influences quite evident in Taylor's performance style. Great set of chops on this 29 year old vocalist. (Wait until you hear him belt out Ray Charles' "Georgia [On My Mind"]. Keep an ear out for him, and if you get the chance or are so inclined, check him out on Fox's American Idol. (The dude plays a pretty mean mouth organ, as well).
