Birmingham, Alabama's Taylor Hollingsworth has always resisted easy categorization. Asked to define his music, he struggled a little bit folk, a touch of blues, a dash of rock 'n' roll, but not quite fitting neatly into any single box. Eventually, he coined the phrase "Folk n' Roll to describe his sound. Now, he's proudly claiming that sound with his latest album, aptly titled "Folk n' Roll." Fans of JJ Cale, Mississippi John Hurt, Chuck Berry, Richard Thompson, Jonathan Richman, and John Prine will find much delight in Hollingsworth's blend of timeless influences. For much of the early aughts, Hollingsworth toured extensively with his punk-tinged rock band (think Ramones meets Chuck Berry meets ZZ Top) and worked as a hired gun playing guitar with various artists on the road (most notably with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band). However, following the birth of his daughter, he took a hiatus from touring to dedicate himself to his family and cultivate his craft as a full-time local musician in Birmingham, AL. It was during this time that he perfected his captivating one-man show, now dubbed "Folk n' Roll." His performances are a sight to behold-finger-picked electric guitar, a mic'd up foot stomp box providing the rhythmic backbone, and occasionally the addition of a looper pedal to layer in guitar solos, all while delivering his signature storytelling lyrics-- lyrics that have been covered by numerous artists, most notably Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers in Better Oblivion Community Center. "Folk 'N Roll" is his second LP for the beloved indie Dial Back Sound, following up 2025's critically acclaimed and loved "Yahola".
