The Blues Historian does right by Taylor in discussing the video where Taylor joins Keb Mo and Shemika Copeland at Buddy Guy's in Chicago

Just a taste, the whole thing is a must read:

Quote:

It is obvious that the people with the negative comments about Hicks, have no clue what the blues are, or why Shemika Copeland came on stage to sing with Taylor. First he invited her up, and second, she came up. That says a lot, because if she didn't respect his talent she wouldn't have come up on stage. Also, we don't compete, or as they said in the old days "cut heads" not as blues players. We support one another, because we realize just how few of us our out there playing the music.

Thanks for posting this Margaux! I love that this guy sees Taylor as a legitimate part of the blue scene. But more importantly, that he points out that big names in blues seem to respect his talent as well!

Oh, and that's a kick a** video!!

AMEN!!!!!!!

All the time Shemika is singing, Taylor is grinning from ear to ear. Don't you just love it!

When I hear Taylor sing the blues, I think that is all I ever want him to do.
