Songwriters Hall of Fame 2016 inductee Chip Taylor has been writing and performing for over 60 years and is more prolific than ever even in the face of serious health issues. The New York Times says it best; 'If you only know him as the as the guy who wrote 'Wild Thing' and 'Angel Of The Morning' - you don’t know him! Chip Taylor is making some of the most distinctive acoustic music around today.'
Taylor returns with Behind The Sky, an album with an extraordinary genesis. In early 2023, Chip was undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for throat cancer. While undergoing this harrowing treatment, he wrote a series of songs, unsure whether he would ever be able to perform them. When the treatment was successful, his band all came together for a concert to celebrate the wonderful doctors and nurses who were involved. Immediately following this show, Chip and the band, including guitarist John Platania (Van Morrison), went into the studio and recorded this brilliant new collection of songs.
