Why is the phrase "hook, line, and sinker" coming to mind?

I just bought the album _zoom daddy_ by a band called the swirling
eddies. Has anyone ever heard of them? The lead singer is Terry Scott
Taylor. I really like his voice. I wonder if TST has ever done anything
else, ie sung a little for some other band. No, he's probably like one of
my other favorite artists, Mike Knott, ie he just sticks to one band and
never deviates from said band. Yep, that's it. Ya know what just occured
to me? Terry Taylor may be the only "Taylor" that I know of. You might
think that there were other musicians named "Taylor". Oh yeah. Taylor

GODFREY DANIELS: I'm a little confused by the process of how
Space Ghost Coast to Coast is made.
EVAN: So are we.
SARAH: Everyone is.

FYI - I apologize for that, I just wanted to do something different. I
just finally picked up an album w/TST and really love it. I don't even
have a Lost Dogs album, though I have heard both extensivly. Maybe they
should have a line over their symbols then (argh... sorry, pathetic
thermodynamics joke). I think my favs on ZD are _pyro sets a wildfire_,
_the twist_, _the golden girl of the golden west_ and _art carney's
dream_; though _God went bowling_ is really moving up in my book... i am
really starting to understand the lyrics... they rule!!!!

This was the third Eddies disc. Previous releases are:
Lets Spin (1988) Alarma Records
Outdoor Elvis (1989) Alarma Records)

>The lead singer is Terry Scott Taylor.

Actually, on the first two Eddies disc he goes by the name "Camarillo Eddy."

>I really like his voice. I wonder if TST has ever done anything

Yes two solo projects:
Knowledge & Innocence (1986) Refuge Records
A Briefing For The Ascent (1987) Frontline Records

Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor:
The Miracle Faith Telethon (1990) Alarma
A contractual obligation album for Frontline/Alarma:

Then as part of Daniel Amos:
Daniel Amos (1976) Maranatha
Shotgun Angel (1977) Maranatha
Horendous Disc (1980) Solid Rock
ĄAlarma!: The ĄAlarma! Chronicles Volume I (1981) Newpax
Doppelgänger: The ĄAlarma! Chronicles Volume II (1983) Alarma
Vox Humana (1984) Refuge
Fearful Symetry (1986) Frontline
[The Revelation] (1986) Frontline [a remix of side 2 of Shotgun Angel with
narrative by Chuck Smith]
Darn Floor - Big Bite (1987) Frontline
DA-Live Booleg '82 (1990) Stunt
Kalhoun (1991) Brainstorm Artists International (BAI)
Motor Cycle (1993) BAI
BibleLand (1994) BAI/WAL
Songs Of The Heart (1995) BAI

All but _Horendous Disc_ and _The Revelation_ are available on CD. No one
wants _The Revelation_ to come out on CD and the other one is being held
up by that guy who originally recorded "Why Should The Devil Have All The
Good Music?"

There were the two forgetable Rap Sures discs from the mid eighties which
the DA crew worked on and Terry provided the voice, but they were quite
bad.

Terry has also had his hand in producing a number of bands over the years
starting with Wild Blue Yonder and most recently with Mortal.

oh well... below my .sig I had some stuff where I tried to make it
somewhat clear that I had some sort of clue, but I didn't want to make it
*TOO* clear. I guess I missed my mark...

Anyways, _zoom daddy_ is the first (and currently ONLY) Terry Scott Taylor
related album that I own, and while I knew that da had a large catalog I
didn't know anything about it, nor did I know anything about the other
swirling eddies albums or any of the other stuff, so even though I didn't
really mean to ask for it, thank you very much for the info walter.

My intent was not to fool anyone, I wanted to do a different style of
post attempting to rave about this great disc. Anyways, I'll probably
have a really childishly excited post ranting and raving and yelling
about the new Seventy Sevens disc as soon as I get it (hopefully this
week) and then wednesday about the Prayer Chain concert tuesday...

Again, I wish to thank walter for the basic info, I will begin to look
for more stuff Terry has done... lyrically _zoom daddy_ is one of the
best albums I own... simply amazing...

ps - With hindsight, if I was gonna post something like I did, I probably
should have used the .sig I have now...

Add to that the newly released Daniel Amos bootleg by Stunt Records,
"Preachers From Outer Space" (outtakes from the first three albums plus
some stuff not recorded elsewhere, and a few demo tracks).

Great discography, though.

I think "The Revelation" is one of the best albums ever made. The classic
DA with Chuck Smith is one of the most wonderful combinations I know of.
"Soon" is also my favorite da/terry taylor piece of work. It's beautiful.

Hmm, that guy you mention who originally recorded, wrote and performs "Why
Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?" is Larry Norman. You might have
heard of him he's the guy who basically started the entire CCM scene when the
whole point of the music was to let people know about the Truth, Jesus Christ
and greed and profit margins and fame didn't enter into the pictur and there
were actually songs written and performed that didn't sound like they came out
of a cookie cutter. (Mark Heard, Terry Taylor, Steve Taylor, Micheal Knott, Ojo
being the exceptions to this of course) My point is not to judge what's going
on out there now but let's respect the God given talent of others like Larry
Norman and if you haven't listened to any of his songs lately performed by him
you might want to go out and find a copy of "Another Land" or "Only Visiting
this Planet" and give it listen. You might learn something about songwriting
but more importantly you might learn something about life. Just a footnote, if
you have ever listened to the first two albums when Daniel Amos was on
Maranatha and Horrendous Disc, you just might notice some differences, ie they
are actually kicking, may I sight "I Love You #19" as an example. You don't
think that Larry could have had anything to do with it, could you? Hmm
something to thnk about. Maybe if you ask nicely he will release it for us all
to enjoy again, I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all.

Not necessarily, actually. Have you heard `Preachers from Outer Space'?
That was a 1978 concert, and thanks to Larry it took 'til 1981 for their
post-country stuff to appear in the stores. I suppose next you'll say
that Larry's responsible for everything Terry's done since then ("I taught
him everything I know!").

Then again, Larry *did* contribute that "drums is of the doo-dah" quote to
the `Shirley, Goodness & Misery' disc ... whether he *knew* he was
contributing it is another issue ...

Terry Taylor is a exceptionally talented and unique singer/songwriter who
deserves all the credit for his work and DA's work after leaving Solid Rock.
It is quite obvious though that Larry had a tremendous influence on Horrendous
Disc and other artists of that era on his label, Solid Rock. I of course do
have a biased objective because I am a huge Larry fan but I do seem to recall
at least another example. My favorite Randy Stonehill album of all time is
Welcome to Paridise --"Keep me Runnin'" & "Lung Cancer" being two of the
exceptional songs. After the duo's breakup what kind of albums did Randy put
out? Maybe he was just following that 80's pop trend but some of his mid 80's
albums were just awful. I agree totally with the fact that Larry should put
his Solid Rock stuff out again but you really can't say what's going on with
the company now or back in the early 80's so who's to say? Slowly the gems
have been trickling out. It still cannot be denied that Larry has had one of
the strongest effects on the CCM scene over the past 25 years, hands on or
hands off, and his music stands on its own merit.

Larry is nuts! I was a huge fan but the wierdness has worn thin. DA,
Heard, Stonehill et al deserve their own accolades, and with the exception
of a few die-hards they get it. Larry has released the same songs 10
times. It's like all the Best Of Petra records out there.

He was, and probably is, a great talent and a huge ground breaker. But he
seems to also have been a very bad businessman, an attention hound, a
martyr in his own mind, and an oportunist. Love his music, but get real
about the artist. Life's tough sometimes and I hopw I'm wrong about him,
but the die-hards are a little too blind to all the negativity surrounding
old uncle Lar'.

Good idea! Why don't you take your own advice and maybe participate in a discussion
about his MUSIC next time? I can recommend the thread about the 18-song Land :-)

>but the die-hards are a little too blind to all the negativity surrounding

I'm a "die-hard" fan of Larry's MUSIC! But I don't think the man is perfect!
Who is, BTW?
