Taylor Hollingsworth, the fingerpicking songwriter hailing from the vibrant city of Birmingham, AL, is back with an electrifying, foot stomper of an album titled "Yahola." With his unique blend of folk, rock, and blues, Taylor has carved out a distinct musical niche that he calls "folk n' roll" or electric folk. In a world full of manufactured pop sensations and cookie-cutter artists, Taylor Hollingsworth stands apart as a true maverick of original music.Recorded in the heart of hill country blues at Dialback Sound, in Water Valley, MS, this record will stand out to those who love the genre but are seeking a fresh take.

His immense talent on the guitar, coupled with his remarkable songwriting abilities, has earned him a rightful place among music connoisseurs.

Despite brushes with major industry players, record deals, and high-profile agents, Taylor's unwavering commitment to artistic and personal freedoms led him to walk away or be dropped from these opportunities.
