The singer and songwriter of rock music
known as Chris Michael Taylor has released his capital new single
track, “Dead Man Walkin'.” The track is the first official single
to be debuted from his upcoming freshman LP album. Impeccably,
sonorously sung and featuring evocative songwriting and razor-sharp
guitar work, “Dead Man Walkin'” by Chris Michael Taylor is a
return to everything that was good about rock music in the early '80s
that bears none of what was bad.
Taylor's upcoming album, the release
date and title of which have yet to be announced, has been rumored to
be a collection of rock songs largely written by Taylor and performed
by him on acoustic guitar. This represents a rare style of rock music
played acoustically which has characterized the artist's sound since
he appeared on the national radar in 2013.
Chris Michael Taylor cites as main
music influences Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Lynch
(Dokken) and Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne). Of these, the first two
share the most similarities with Taylor's writing and singing styles,
whereas his guitar chops are sharper and edgier in the tradition of
guitarists with heavier styles such as Lynch's and Lee's.
However, Taylor's “Dead Man Walkin'”
isn't just a rock song. If it were, choosing a strictly acoustic
sound for the track might seem dubious. Enough elements of pop shine
through his rock overtones to carry the song above traditional rock
music into a new realm of rock-based pop, though, and these pop
attributes make Taylor's singer-songwriter method work wonderfully.
The pop fringe with which Taylor has gilt his latest single (and
presumably his upcoming record) is informed by his penchant for
musicians like Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars.
North Carolina's Chris Michael Taylor
developed an obsession with music at the age of five by discovering
an album by Eddie Van Halen. Now seeing his solo career truly begin
to boom at the start of 2015, Taylor is also the lead guitarist in
the up-and-coming country/rock band Early Ray, lead guitarist with
Vinnie and Carmine Appice in Drum Wars, and lead guitarist in the
classic-rock tribute band, Sunset Strip. Taylor has performed live at
venues across America and has shared the stage with such legends as
Elliot Rubinson, Rudy Sarzo, Kip Winger, Michael Sweet and Tommy
DeCarlo, among others.
“Dead Man Walkin'” by Chris Michael
