Otis Taylor's Contraband

2012 album from the Blues multi-instrumentalist. Otis Taylor isn't defined by any single category. A musical alchemist and a true innovator, Taylor has never been afraid to experiment beyond the Blues tradition. He's a master craftsman who has created his own signature "trance blues" style by melding haunting guitar and banjo work, syncopated rhythms and a combination of gruff vocals, shouts and yells with raw passion. Otis Taylor's Contraband offers 14 compelling originals.
