Back to the Crossroads

Titled Back To The Crossroads ? a reference to the crossroads at which blues musician Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul for mastery of the guitar ? it will explore the rich history of blues music through songs old and new. ?Blues is universal? enthuses Michael. ?Blues underpins almost all modern music so we?ll be playing new blues tracks too.

But if they?re just there to listen to the music then I?ll shelve that.

His song ?Nasty Letter? was included in the 2007 Mark Wahlberg thriller ?Shooter? although Taylor is concerned that blues awards harbor little to offer him.
