When Louise Taylor reaches within herself to express a song, the world seemingly comes to a halt. A songwriter confident in her artisry, Taylor moves you in a deep way. Her music is inherently sincere, drawing on her life experience for sustenance and inspiration.

Louise Taylor is recognized as one of the finest singer-songwriters in America. Produced by Peter Galway and featuring appearances by acoustic bluesman Chris Smither (a duet on the lovely "Too Tired") and slide guitar wizard Kelly Joe Phelps, the album includes touches of country, blues and Celtic music. For fans of great songwriting, RIDE is an exhilarating journey.

"Subtle, solid, genuine and intellegent, RIDE is a collection of 11 songs that fit so well together thast it's hard to imagine taking one away or adding one more." -Music Reviews Quarterly
