Our Take

Ah, Vince Taylor - the original rock 'n' roll wild child, the man who made Elvis look like a librarian. His latest offering, "Jet Black Leather Machine," is a rollercoaster ride of leather-clad rebellion and greasy-haired attitude.

From the moment the first notes of the title track kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Taylor's sneering vocals are as sharp as a switchblade, his guitar licks as fierce as a pack of hungry wolves. It's a fast-paced onslaught of rockabilly rhythms and punk rock energy, with Taylor's signature swagger oozing from every pore.

Tracks like "Rock 'n' Roll Station" and "Black Leather Bop" are pure adrenaline-fuelled anthems, guaranteed to have you stomping your feet and throwing up devil horns in no time. But it's not all high-octane mayhem - there are moments of surprising depth and vulnerability, like on the haunting ballad "Lonely Heart Blues."

"Jet Black Leather Machine" is a testament to Taylor's enduring influence on the rock 'n' roll landscape. It's a raucous, riotous romp that will leave you breathless and begging for more. So strap in, turn up the volume, and let Vince Taylor take you on a wild ride straight to rock 'n' roll heaven.

About the artist

Vince Taylor

Vince Taylor is a name that conjures up images of rock and roll rebellion, excess, and a touch of insanity. Born Brian Maurice Holden in London in 1939, Taylor burst onto the music scene in the late 1950s with his band The Playboys, wowing audiences with his electrifying stage presence and wild antics. Taylor's music can best be described as a blend of rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and early rock and roll, with a healthy dose of theatricality thrown in for good measure. His songs, such as "Brand New Cadillac" and "Jet Black Machine," are energetic, catchy, and downright addictive. But it wasn't just Taylor's music that captured the imagination of fans and critics alike – it was his larger-than-life persona. Known for his flamboyant wardrobe, which often included skin-tight leather trousers and brightly coloured shirts, Taylor was a true showman who lived and breathed rock and roll. Unfortunately, Taylor's wild lifestyle eventually caught up with him, leading to a downward spiral of drug addiction and mental health issues. His behaviour became increasingly erratic, culminating in a notorious onstage breakdown in 1961 where he claimed to be a messenger from Mars sent to warn humanity of impending catastrophe. Despite his personal struggles, Taylor's legacy as a rock and roll pioneer remains intact. His influence can be seen in the music of artists ranging from David Bowie to The Cramps, who have cited Taylor as a major inspiration. In the end, Vince Taylor may have been a flawed genius, but there's no denying the impact he had on the music world. Here's to the man who lived fast, rocked hard, and left a legacy that still reverberates through the halls of rock and roll.
