Called the “Redneck Jeff Beck” and a “funky mix of Jeff Beck and Chet Atkins”, Grammy nominated studio guitarist and producer Joe Taylor has worked with everyone from Ahmet Ertegun to Keith Diamond…. Al B. Sure to Donna Summer.

Recently RUST magazine enthusiastically reviewed Joe Taylor’s soon to be released seventh album, “Sugardust in the Devil Wind”, and had this to say about it:

“If you’ve been longing for a classic studio guitar album, Sugardust in the Devil Wind will satisfy your craving for a contemporary Beck-Santana-Satriani collection of cool jams. Grammy-nominated strummer Joe Taylor’s seventh album gets low down and dirty… and we like it a lot! Sugardust in the Devil Wind is an audio treat with an old-school flavor.”

They reached out to Joe to ask him a couple questions about it, so here he is in his own words:
