Mississippi is known for its many blues musicians, and Eddie Taylor is one if these artists. Although he often found himself in Jimmy Reed’s shadow, he was a great guitar player. Eddie Taylor was born to Joseph Taylor and Mamie Gaston iJanuary 29, 1923. His mother and father separated when he was young, and Taylor had to stay home from school and work on his mother's farm in Benoit, Mississippi. In 1936 he got his first guitar and taught himself how to play it. <a href="https://www.last.fm/m

Quotes

  • Thou sorrow, venom Elfe. &nbsp;&nbsp; Is this thy play, To spin a web out of thyselfe &nbsp;&nbsp; To Catch a Fly? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For Why? [...] To tangle Adams race &nbsp;&nbsp; In's stratigems To their Destructions, spoil'd, made base &nbsp;&nbsp; By venom things &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Damn'd Sins.
  • Am I new minted by thy Stamp indeed? &nbsp;&nbsp; Mine Eyes are dim; I cannot clearly see. Be thou my Spectacles that I may read &nbsp;&nbsp; Thine Image and Inscription stampt on mee.
