"Taylor Pie is worthy of folk buzz...combining a perfect lyrical, musical and vocal recipe, Pie put on the most refreshing, witty, down to earth show I've ever experienced. Pie IS staple folk comfort food and should be served up in every listening environment across this country. "
- Lane Gosnay, Founder, THE BUGLE BOY LaGrange, TX
"A joy to meet and hear you. Told one of my voice students about how I fell in love with 'Time' not only for the tune and words, but for your voice. Hearing you it's the same...I spend my life teaching. You've got it and give it. Thanks."-John Aielli KUT 90.5 Austin, TX
"Pie fully embraces and emphasizes the very spirit of the Americana music genre according to our interpretations and standards. Her lyrics are rich and her vocals are fully captivating. Taylor Pie is a Texas Rebel Radio defining artist! -Dawn Dale, Program Director KFAN , KFAN, 107.9
"I listened to her song "Long Ride Home" about 100 times in a row, so, I had no choice but to record it. I loved it. Her guitar work, lyrics, and vocals are amazing and their depth gets to me with every listen." -Terri Hendrix -Wilory Records
"Taylor - I love your "Long Ride Home" CD so much I'm going to feature it on the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days. We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page.... and your CD is one of the best I've ever heard!" -Derek Sivers, CDBaby
As a teenager, Taylor Pie recorded a song called, "Time", and it hit the 1 slot in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, followed by four albums on Columbia with the Pozo-Seco Singers. Pie's first solo album was on JMI Records where she co-produced 3 Don Williams chart singles, and then moved to New York City playing clubs like O'Lunney's, Folk City, and The Bottom Line, with Don McLean, Jack Hardy, Johnny Paycheck, and Tom Pacheco.
Her soulful messages wrap around you like familiar feelings that unlock forgotten memories. It is no wonder that Bette Midler, Tanya Tucker, Mickey Gilley, The Forester Sisters, Terri Hendrix, Kathy Mattea, and Valerie Smith have recorded her works. "Just Like Angels", written with Dickey Lee was nominated for the gospel Dove Award, and "Full Grown Fool" written with Allen Reynolds, landed Mickey Gilley a Country top 20.
Her CD on PuffBunny Records, "So Little Has Changed," has been a huge success on Americana radio and Sat XM and continues to build her listening audience. With the release of a live album recorded at Hondo's on Main in Fredricksburg, TX, her airplay and list of fans constantly grows.
Pie deftly combines the roots of Appalachian folk with a touch of jazz, gospel, and acoustic pop, as she shines on 6-string guitar or open tuned mandolin. Eileen Kuperschmid wrote for the Berkshire Sampler: "Whether she's talking or singing, Taylor Pie's worth listening to. She's clear, real clear- with a mother lode of honesty and a voice as pure and light as it is strong."
