Described as a soul singer, Taylor Hicks
is known for setting "soul fires" from panhandle Florida honkey-tonks
to the modern day chitlin-circuit of the old South. He's entertained
with high profile artists such as James Brown, Tom Petty,
Jackson Browne, Drive by Truckers, and Robert Randolph. Taylor is
currently collaborating with contemporary blues legend Keb Mo.
UPDATE: Taylor Hicks has won season five of American Idol. His CD "Under the Radar" is available at Laser's Edge Compact Discs.
