Eddie Taylor Jr. Biography

Eddie Taylor Jr. is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on March 27, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

Edward Taylor (March 27, 1972 – March 8, 2019), better known as Eddie Taylor Jr., was an American Chicago blues and electric blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He released six studio albums, and a compilation album of his better known tracks, all on the European-based label, Wolf Records. Among the musicians who worked in Taylor’s backing band was his fellow guitar player Johnny B. Moore. Taylor also supported other musicians including Moore, Little Arthur Duncan, Willie Kent and Hubert Sumlin, plus Buddy Guy, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Billy Gibbons.

By 1998, Wolf Records persuaded Taylor to record a tribute album for his father. Lookin’ for Trouble featured his mother singing on one track. His progress suffered a potentially life-threatening blow in 2002, when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure and kidney failure. He spent two months in hospital, had seven operations, and his youngest brother, Milton, donated a kidney. Taylor still required regular dialysis, with a benefit concert held to help pay his medical expenses, as he had no insurance to cover the costs. In time, following the kidney transplant, Taylor eventually resumed his live schedule. His next album release was 2004’s Worried About My Baby. Both of Taylor’s albums to that point had contributions from his brothers, Larry and Tim, on drums. Five of Taylor’s siblings performed on his next release, Mind Game (2006). Taylor played on the soundtrack of the 2008 film, Cadillac Records.

Taylor was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States on March 27, 1972. His father, Eddie Taylor was a notable blues musician, who had relocated to Chicago from the Mississippi Delta in 1949. However, Taylor Sr. died in 1985, when his son was 13 years old. Taylor originally yearned to be a rapper, although quickly realised that was not for him. His two older brothers, Larry and Tim, became blues drummers; while his mother, Vera, maintained an intermittent career as a singer until her death in 1999. Although the young Eddie heard the Chicago blues, the family initially bought him some DJ equipment and a set of drums. It was not until after his father’s death that Taylor started to play the guitar, and he later stated, “I never intended to sound like him. I just picked up a guitar, and it started coming to me.” He learned to play on one of his father’s old instruments, a Gibson ES-335. It was a tortuous process and took over two years for Taylor to learn how to tune his acquired guitar. This was only after John Primer borrowed it one day, and had to re-tune it to enable him to play the instrument. No one in Taylor’s family, nor his contemporaries, offered him any guidance or encouragement. By the age of 18, Taylor started to associate with other blues performers such as Hubert Sumlin, Sam Lay, and Eddie Shaw. Taylor slowly found his own style and playing technique, without actually listening too much to what other blues musicians were doing at the time. He gradually built up his own name and reputation, incorporating the building blocks of the Chicago blues.
