And yes, please post more, keep it coming.
Is there any possibility of telling us where this was recorded and when?
Always great to hear anything by Taylor. Thanks.
Are you kidding?? If you DON’T post other media, we’ll have to hunt out and beg and plead until you give up.
Niiice! I really need to hear Taylor live, soon. It’s been way too long!
He sounds JUST like Michael McDonald on this tune.
You and me both, Cali . . . I need a new live Taylor concert experience BAD. I’m like a junkie. I’m getting the shakes and everything.
This is a great audio! I do agree, I hear bits of McDonald in this. I would love to hear more audio.
TY RHS!
Ya Know!!! It seems like more and more Pre-Idol Taylor is showing up. I love it, I love hearing Taylor is Taylor and always will be Taylor.
OH!! PLease send more!!!
Ah, gee – it’s not working for me.
Yes, please. I love it! Anything new is most appreciated…
TH, you’ve just made my day! Hell, you’ve made my week! I don’t know who your source is, but I’m very grateful to them, and to you.
More, please!
Excellent! More please!
this sounds like early Taylor …pre idol??
Thnak you for this TH
Sounds like an intimate place..
small club-maybe a hall?
MORE PLEASE!
just sayin
oops
That would be Thank you
not tahnk you
Lawdy Taylor gets me going!
He did this last year..on the tour..but I don’t remember when.
Is this a preview of things to come? Please say it is …….
Thank You Always want more!!!
Can’t decide if this is pre or post Idol. But it does sound like a club, and there’s a woman doing a bit of background vocal starting at about the 1:43 point. And is that Brian Less on the keys?
Color me intrigued.
Thanks for this!
The photos you share are amazing .. I cannot wait to see what other audio you may have for us.
I may not always comment but seeing RHS in my email in the mornings always brings a smile ..
Thank you again
Oh man, you got us going with this one!
We want more audio, you know we do!! lol
Thanks TH for feeding my addiction today. Much appreciated.
I can’t stop listening to this . . . Good Lord, this is just amazing me.
The growls when he sings “minute by minute” right alongside those pure high notes when he sings “I’ll keep holding on” . . . this is full on, balls to the wall, soulful Taylor.
TH, I really, really need more of this . . . I’ll send you my first born son if you give me more music.
Love it, nothing better than listening to Taylor. Please have more. Thanks much.
more, more, more!
Please.
What can i say,… more more more! you got us all here now you have to deliver the goods. Lead this horse to the water please. I’ll drink.
just sayin’
I guess I am late to the party here, but it sounds like Taylor, doing that Michael McDonald thing he does so well. Blusey, soulful, and growling too! I likey! More please!
With the mix sounding so much like a club, is it possible this might be included in the new CD with his pre-idol stuff.
Isn’t it funny that we know that is Brian Less on the keys!
Wow! This is just what the doctor ordered! Thanks to you and your source and yes of course we want more!
HO LEE SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Minutes is NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I used to say that to my ex-husband all the time.

I LOVE THIS MAN! HEs killing me!!!! LMao!!!!
Ummm MORE!….Please
)
very, very nice…and yes, I think I would like some more…pretty please.
Geez – It sounds like if he hasn’t considered covering this song on his album, maybe he should! It’s very popular!
I always thought he should do a classic soul CD and call it
“Under The Covers” Just think of the CD cover shot! Whoooooo Hoooo!!!!
Love the Taylor quickie. Wham, bam, thank you, TaysHarmonica.
Very nice. Thanks for posting this!
Sounds like one of his early club live recordings where there’s hardly anybody there (boy- if they knew then…) More please.
This is wonderfully amazing! What a nice way to wake up! Yes, please do include more audio!
Ill join the party–when was this done? Inquiring mind want to know!
Great interpretation!! Please get video!
The audio is excellent. This is the Hicks I love, a complete 180 from his post Idol CD. Second album needs this Taylor Hicks.
You get great “inside” material.
This is amazing…pure raw Taylor just the way I like him….well, one of the ways…lol… I need a full blown bluesy Taylor night, now!! Thanks Tays Harmonica…please keep the coming! I thought had heard everythng pre-idol but this was a nice surprise….
So much love for the Bloggerina and her super powers!
This lovely tidbit may NOT be pre-Idol. One of our many SP “super sleuths” seems to be on to something!
I look forward to this site every morning as it starts my day with a smile…now an audio!! What a nice surprise! Can never get enough of Taylor!! Thanks so much TH this is great…I have to go back and listen again!!
More, please. Thanks!
Wow, TH! Look at the number of hits on this post (52 & counting)!
Doesn’t this prove that we want more musical “stuff” (from whenever and wherever)?
So more music, please, with whipped cream on top. :hugs:
Great! Thanks! More!!!!! Please!!!
Never to much of TRH…Giddy up, go!
As much as I love drooling over Tay pics……….
I love 100% more the music.
I can’t wait for another tour with more of the authentic Taylor Hicks.
Thanks for this amazing blog!!
Eargasmic Taylor. Any more?
*click* *click* “There’s no place like home…”
Hey, what do you know? It worked! I made it here.
Is it wrong that I’m on a hotel lobby computer checking in here? Unfortunatley, I can’t listen to the audio, but it gives me a reason to want to return home home on Tuesday.
th: 57 comments? (show-off!) haha, you deserve it, baby! You give us what we want and we love you for it.
Maybe I’ll go check my own blog now. Or maybe I’ll go talk to the people I’m visiting. Oh silly me! I have to see what you posted yesterday!
Great Audio!
More please…8-)
That made my day! Thanks.
I can’t think of any more inventive ways to say I loved it and want more than were said in the comments above, sooooo, I’ll just say DITTO!!!
OMG, this man could sing the phone book and sound incredible.
He has the effect of the Lay’s potato chip, one is just not enough.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Minute by Minute we wait for his next concert, because of music like this, we love this guy.
Soul Patrol Forever.
More Taylor downloads? Well, let me think about it…..
HECK YEAH!
Sorry, forgot my manners: More please.
Very very nice…it is always a pleasure to hear his voice…if you can pull it off would be wonderful to hear more. Thank you!
Minute By Minute I get more and more in need of hearing this kind of music! Keep those audios coming pulleeeezzzzzzeeee!!
Ya know what’s even better than listening to this rare gem? Listening with a repeating slide show of four Grey Eagle Taylor pix from the 5th of March. Ahhh, the toboggan, the stool, and Taylor lost in a moment. The sensory experience is complete.
Awesome nice to hear Tay! Audios are good, I will take him anyway that I good get him!
I meant any way that I COULD get him LOL
LUV it! Thanks so much — any and all audios will be enthusiastically welcomed! Lucky I don’t know how
to download audio, or I might have been really
tempted to
I am also having mayor LiveTaylor withdrawal — and
a few minutes of singing “BSD” just isn’t going to do it
for me!
Keep it coming… we can’t get enough. I can see Taylor swaying back and forth as he sings it!
Alright, hold the phone, stop the music, hold on just one damn minute now. THIS is who and what Im missing from Taylor. You ask me (well, you dont but some do) why Im so down on the guy, how I went from loving his music to hating what he has put out thus far and the answer is this. Its because I know and you all know what he is capable of.
I cant sit by and pretend like Im all excited about anything he has recorded since Idol because I couldnt even fake it if I tried but this little snippet of a sound byte makes me remember why it was that I went off the deep end for his voice. I listen to this and listen to Rehearsals HN and the reason is so obvious. He has so much gd talent I cant even explain it to someone who doesnt know about him.
Thank you.
ummmmmm! very, Very, VERY, NICE!!! LUV IT!!!!!! Thanks so much for the clip! what a tease though…only two minutes! I am hungry for more baby!!!!!
This was great. Thank you so much. Please keep them coming. I can’t get enough of the guy!
Wow, please keep these audios coming. Thank you sooooo much. I agree with everyone else – I need a live concert. Also I agree with the Michael McDonald sound (who is also one of my favorites)!! This is fantastic.
WOW!!! Love love love love love that!! Taylor is just THE BEST….WOW!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I have always loved Michael McDonald…and Taylor does it so much better…both are hunks…but if Taylor starts doing his stuff…I might have to wear one of those necklaces around my neck…the one where you say into it…”I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!
