The classical feeling holiday songs have always been some of my favorites because they tend to really ground the holiday season.  The lyrics and the chord movement always add majesty to a time that can filled superfluous fluff.  When I grew up in New Jersey, sometimes I would go out into the snow early in the morning before anyone else was awake and enjoy the serenity of pure snow falling.  I wanted to combine the snow fall and the majesty in one song.

Silent Snow Fall by Ty Taylor featuring David Ott/Piano & Ty Taylor/Trombone

Doo Wopping Around The Christmas Tree 2

Stax Records is my favorite of all times.  And there has always been something about the those Otis Redding & Carla Thomas duets that has always brought me to my very knees.  Wanted to write and produce a song that made me feel the same way for this holiday song project.  The lyric is inspired by a huge billboard that, "Santa gives more to the rich kids than to the poor kids." Stopped in my tracks and made me fall deep in my heart.  Yvette's brings soul and passion and depth to this world.  I'm glad she said yes.

Santa Why by Ty Taylor featuring Yvette Cason

I have always dreamed of going on holiday for the holidays to Paris.  The thought of all that old fashioned romance combined with the joy of Christmas along a side of winter's need  to stay warm by staying close to one another is something that makes me melt inside.  Here is the story of two lovers that met by chance while celebrating the holidays alone in a foreign country.  They know that come new years day they will fly away from each other and possible never see each other again.  So what do they do, live in and for the moment.

Vacances De L'Amour (Holiday Romance) by Ty Taylor

#10.  Blues. Wanted to tell the story of a holiday Character.

Randy, The Candy Cane by Ty Taylor & Kyle Daniels

Wanted to do a Christmas song that felt Grand Ole Opry out of my love for Nashville and good ole fashion country sangin'!  BTW, Ben Caron is a writing and singing genius.  Featuring Michael McConnell on snare.

Merry All Year Long by Ben Caron & Ty Taylor

Merry Christmas.  Through tears of joy I type, "HERE IS SONG 12 out of 12!". This is a big one because it was recorded today in my childhood home in Montclair, NJ.  Singing Lead is my niece, KC Carnage.  Her voice is astounding and soulful and vibrant.  On my flight to New Jersey yesterday she texted me, "Uncle Ty, lets do one from Mrs Clauses' point of view.  She never gets to see her husband at Christmas!". Brilliant. On the rap is my brilliant nephew Christopher Carnage.  The music of Diana Ross and Supremes rang through my house  every cheer at Christmas...well, all year round.  Their songs make me happy and danceful.  I you will...shake your hips, throw your hands in the air, move your shoulders and enjoy "Sincerely Yours, Mrs. Clause".

Sincerely Yours, Mrs. Clause by Ty Taylor & KC Carnage /Sung by KC Carnage featuring QueeZ and Ty

Vintage Trouble's 1st recorded holiday song.

Soul Noel by Vintage Trouble

This one of the first songs Nalle and I wrote together.  I can still remember recording in his home studio apartment on Venice Beach.  The beginnings.

No, Not I

My life and times are inspired by gospel music.  I started singing in church.  Later on life I developed a love for The 1950s Gospel Highway tour, performers and vibe.  Everyone from The Soul Stirrers (Sam Cooke's first gig) to The Meditation Singers to Clara Ward and The Ward Singers.  I wrote this recently to pay honor to those folks and times.  I apologize in advance for the quick garageband recording and the fact that I had to play all the instrument...not so greatly.  I gotta thank to of my favorite singers Tawny Dolley and Maiya Sykes for literally screaming into my computer with me from my sitting room couch.  Hope you dig the message as well.


ROLL OVER THIS MOUNTAIN
                                Ty Taylor


Like heavy white smoky clouds
I will roll over the mountain
I will roll over the mountain
Like heavy white smoky clouds
Like heavy white smoky clouds
I will roll over
Like heavy white smoky clouds

Jasper was a climber
The world tried to weigh him down
It ladened him
With burdens then
Dragged him to the ground
Lo, Jasper cried, "Father,
My hour is dark as midnight
So I need your hand
For to stand
Send down your lifting light!”

Like heavy white smoky clouds
I will roll over the mountain
I will roll over the mountain
Like heavy white smoky clouds
Like heavy white smoky clouds
I will roll over
Like heavy white smoky clouds


Master heard his calling
But left him on his knees
Exclaiming, “You process
The power that
You think you need from me!”
Poor Jasper raised to standing
His faith found a new high
With arms out wide
And doubt behind
He sang up to the sky
(“I hear you, Lord”)

Roll over it
Roll roll
Roll over it
Roll roll

Like heavy white smoky clouds
I will roll over the mountain
I will roll over the mountain
Like heavy white smoky clouds
Like heavy white smoky clouds
I will roll over
Like heavy white smoky clouds
