“It’s impossible to pigeon-hole Taylor. Her songs range from dirty bar Blues to heart-wrenching tell-all ballads.” - American Blues Scene

Nashville, TN (October 1, 2021) - - Early listeners and music critics are buzzing about Taylor Rae’s much-anticipated debut album, MAD TWENTIES, and today the wait is over. The 12-track creative treasure is available for digital purchase now and vinyl copies can be ordered from Taylor’s website or this online store.
 
The excitement surrounding the release has led to two world track premieres this week with The100%RockMagazine hosting "Never Gonna Do" and American Blues Scene spotlighting "Just Be." Taylor’s current single, “Home on the Road,” is resonating with fans, and its companion video has been airing on CMT’s 12-pack Countdown for several weeks. Last month, her debut music video, “Fixer Upper,” was awarded Best Video at the Austin Spotlight Film Festival. Scenes Live Sessions is now featuring an intimate, four-song acoustic performance segment with the singer/songwriter. 
 
“Her Blues-soaked vocals are crystalline and reminiscent of songstresses Sheryl Crow and Ashley Monroe.”Digital Journal
 
“Taylor’s voice is sultry, sassy and sizzling on her debut album.”
 - The 100 % Rock Magazine 
 
The chatter about Taylor is understandable; she is a courageous writer who is willing to test the boundaries, and the result is a captivating and commanding album from beginning to end. MAD TWENTIES, produced by William Gawley, opens with “Window,” a song inspired by a plant medicine psychedelic-experience. The project then ably crosses genres and an emotional universe on its way to the closing ode - the raw, “Taking Space.” Overall, the collection shares the who, what, when, where and why of Taylor Rae’s largely lived twenties. “It may not have all been pretty,” she admits, “but it was all part of the learning curve. I’m excited to share it.”
 
For all things Taylor Rae go to her website and follow her on Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.
