Guitarist Taz Taylor, already familiar to many in the hard rock world via his previous albums featuring renowned vocalists, has signed a deal with Global Rock Records for the release of the upcoming TAZ TAYLOR BAND new CD next month. The label is also re-issuing Taz Taylor Band’s back catalog starting with “Welcome To America”, previously appeared in 2006 via Escape Music.
For “Welcome To America“, Taz asked former Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Alcatrazz, Impelliteri, singer Graham Bonnet – at the time not so much active in the business – if he will sing the songs on this album. Bonnet not only agreed, but co-write many songs, and the result was rocking collection of classic hard rock tunes reminiscent of MSG ‘Assault Attack’ era with a pinch of Rainbow’s ‘Down To Earth’ and UFO.
This 2022 reissue includes a bonus track.
