Shine!
The New CD from Taylor Brooks
Grammy-winning songwriter Taylor Brooks returns to her roots in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee on this collection of original Country songs. Features drummer Narada Michael Walden (Wynonna, Aretha) and Paul McCandless (Bela Fleck, Andy Summers) on horns.
 
Joining Brooks on Shine! are San Francisco Bay Area producer and guitarist Danny Uzilevsky and a force of a-list Northern California musicians and studio all-stars.  
 
"The record is really great sounding, and the songs are unique and emotional as well. So congratulations! Thanks for allowing me to be part of it! "
Bonnie Hayes: multi-platinum songwriter (Bonnie Raitt)
 
"It really kicks a lot of ass."
Chris Manning: mixing engineer (Santana, Ted Nugent)
 
Taylor's credits include writing songs for the Temptations on their platinum release Phoenix Rising, as well as their Grammy-winning follow-up Ear-Resistable. Her song 'Touch' (a duet with John Legend) appears on Ray Charles’ Genius & Friends.
