The Taylor Brown Trio blew everyone away! - The Short North Gazette
The Taylor Brown Trio's "Notebook" is a excellent mix of soft folk and soulful blues. It is refreshing to see younger people venture into the roots of rock n' roll while also creating their own unique sound. A must have for any car CD player to sing loudly while no one is looking. - CD Baby
Brown makes a melange of his folk leanings with the jazz background of his trio's bandmates. - Independent, NC
Taylor's Voice is amazing and he has deep reservoirs of talent. - What's Happening at Vassar
"Everything he does is musical. He plays great acoustic blues guitar, he's a good finger-picker and a very effective performer. He's a very good technician with a lot of different influences and it shows in his music." - Pulse (Hudson Valley), April 2006
"Music and creativity are in the young musicians genes."
