The fall of 2009, brings you a beautifully crafted new collection of songs from the Renaissance Woman, NYC based, Taylor Barton . This is her seventh project featuring well-polished songs produced by Pink Floyd’s Keyboardist, Jon Carin and Taylor Barton; joined by her husband GE Smith, SNL, Dylan and veteran musicians, Tony Shanahan, ( Patty Smith) Robin Gould, Alex Alexander (Dido) and the newly emerging songstress on background vocals, GiGi Fouquet ( Barton produced her EP, Tiny Heaven, with GE ). This is a richly, textured, picturesque collection.
The incarnation of “Spiritual Gangster”: “I was sitting outside the Rubin Museum, here in NYC, … I couldn’t get into a sold-out “brainwaves seminar”… I got to thinking that anything of “spirit” was stellar -- So, I set off to write a bunch of songs about things that either had fed my spirit or had stolen it. The searing song, “He Flies By”, about the recently passed who are still with us, to “Hit Me,” about living life, with no regrets are just a few in the “must-have.”
Taylor Barton writes from the trenches of the self-examined life; motherhood, sobriety, visionquest, rock wife-dom, grief, longing, beauty, meaning. With soul mate G.E. Smith as her sideman, she creates aching American classics on "Spiritual Gangster". -Paula Cole

All sales from the song, "Shenandoah" to the MYELOMA FOUNDATION in memory of the late Peter Boyle.
