Birmingham guitarist and singer-songwriter Taylor Hollingsworth has built a devoted following through his solo work and as a member of Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, earning acclaim for his cosmic fingerpicking and distinctive “folk-art-punk-blues” style.
We caught Hollingsworth for the first time last year at a rocking solo show in Brooklyn, and we’ve been digging through his archives ever since. This scruffy power pop gem, “Duct Tape,” recorded live back in 2007, is a perfect example of why he’s worth seeking out.
