Caryl did an excellent job with her questions and keeping her cool. Lucky I didn't win as I would have been a blithering idiot What a great interview-he was so gracious and fun. There's a shocker
He has such a calming affect I feel like a load of bricks has been lifted.Ican just still back and relax and wait.I'm just waiting for Spring it will be a great year 09,I just got a good feeling after reading that interview.:woohoo:He is going to ROCK OUR SOCKS OFF LADIES!
* I posted this video Of Taylor Hicks photos/video set to Sam Cooke's Mean Old World because of the following answer he gave to a question from Caryl in her recent interview she won with him.
Taylor: But you know what's great. An album I was listening to this morning...Sam Cooke, Night Beat. There's a song on it called, "Mean Old World", a very cool, haunting number. During the "Somehow" time period I was listening to a lot of Sam Cooke. So I guess you could say it inspired "Somehow". You should look for it: Night Beat and the song, "Mean Old World" *
Have been listening to the album and it is superb ! !
Thought I had gone through all of Sam Cooke's albums on Rhapsody so am surprised I don't seem to remember this particular set - but have several of the songs on a playlist so maybe it has just been a while.
Sincerely hope at least some of the tracks on Taylor's next CD have this - it's all about the vocals - quality - - - I'd be happy with all of the tracks - but know some people would prefer more of a mix of style and tempo and I would like that also - - as long as the vocals remain front and center !
NOTE:
A remastered version is available on Amazon both as a CD and as a mp3 download.
There are also originals for sales by individuals.
Please use the NESP Amazon link on the left of the Forums screen if going to buy
I like JCitySoul's videos-they're always cool! Glad she saved us the time of looking for it
Liz - - pretty sure you wouldn't have found it earlier.
it popped up as a new add on the home page when I went to look for Sam Cooke doing Mean Old Blues - - when I tried a search with Taylor and the song -
the only one that came up was her new upload. Didn't find a Sam Cooke one btw.
And forgot to say this in my first post - got sidetracked by finding the video . . . .
I am so glad that Caryl was the one that won the call - she has a perfect forum for sharing her experience. She's a good blogger and did a great job with both the call and her write up.
Kudos and for her.
