TAYLOR MCCALL RELEASES NEW ALBUM: MELLOW WAR
RELEASED VIA BLACK POWDER SOUL RECORDS/THIRTY TIGERS
NEW VIDEO FOR “ROLLING STONED AGAIN”
SECOND TOUR WITH ROBERT PLANT BEGINS THIS MARCH
“An album heavy on sensibility and highly personal, without ever descending into self-indulgence”
– Lonesome Highway
“From the slow instrumental lead to Taylor McCall’s husky baritone voice, we’ve been swaying and humming along to this track, keeping us warm with comfort on these dark, long winter nights”
– Holler
Today, Taylor McCall releases his new album Mellow War via Black Powder Soul Records/Thirty Tigers. The album was produced by McCall and Sean McConnell (Michael Franti and Wade Bowen). One of the many inspirations for this album is McCall’s late grandfather.
Taylor McCall shares: “Mellow War pays homage to my late grandpa. The album cover is him in Vietnam. These are songs that are sort of letters to home that I imagined he might have sent. My grandpa was a life inspiration for me; it was bigger than just music. The songs are a tribute to everything he stood for and everything he taught me.”
Along with the album release, McCall shares a new video for the track “Rolling Stoned Again.” It is the third video he has created for the album, and it is available here. Watch the videos that he directed for the singles “Tide of Love” here and “Mellow War” here. Mellow War follows McCall’s much-lauded Black Powder Soul from 2021.
After a successful run supporting Robert Plant on tour last fall, Taylor McCall will be rejoining the star for another tour in the UK this March. The Robert Plant Presents Saving Grace tour will feature Suzi Dian with Taylor McCall as the recurring special guest. The tour begins March 13th in Bristol.
