Jackson Taylor, born to parents of migrant workers, and was one of eleven siblings. His life began in Moody, Texas, which is a small town north of Austin. Combining his real life experiences with old school country elements, and throwing in the flavors of punk and southern rock to create a style all his own, Jackson Taylor continues to break the rules of traditional country music with his straightforward lyrics.
Jackson states in his song, “Cocaine” that he did what he thought any man should do. After being cheated on and lied to, he decides to get high off of cocaine, get drunk everyday, and get with dirty girls. Well, looks like you must have shown her! She probably regrets ever leaving you…yeah…?
Special guest performances on the new album “Aces N Eights” include Austin legend, Dale Watson, Red-Dirt pioneer, Jason Boland and legendary guitarist, Jonny 2 Bags from Social Distortion. “Aces N Eights” brings a new dimension to Taylor’s “un-apologetic” style and continues to delight… sometimes offend.
For example, his song “Country Song”. For someone that would want to sing country music, I would figure they would have a little respect for music city and some of it’s greater influences. Evidently not this guy! He goes on bashing the Nashville scene, Trace’s “Honky Tonk Badonkydonk”, Johnny Cash, and disrespecting the Grand Ole Opry. I wouldn’t bother trying to make it again in Nashville, Jackson Taylor, just stay where you are.
Jackson tried to make his mark in Nashville. He found work as a songwriter, but after a couple of tough and frustrating years, Jackson had to face the hard truth that Nashville was not the “home” for which he had spent his whole life searching. Hmm.. I wonder why?

[...] Country Music Tattle Tale finds Jackson Taylor offensive: Jackson states in his song, “Cocaine” that he did what he thought any man should do. After being cheated on and lied to, he decides to get high off of cocaine, get drunk everyday, and get with dirty girls. Well, looks like you must have shown her!

Jackson did not bash Johnny Cash in the song “Country song”, he bashed Nashville for turning it’s back on Johnny Cash and Hank williams, You might want to listen to the words before you make an ass out of your self and diss them. Jackson turned down deals from Nashville not the other way around. You should do a little home work before you start your gossip, “they fired old Hank from the Grand ole Opera and they fired Johnny Cash from the Grand ole Opera so it dont mean shit to me” Country song. This song is about how Nashville has turned its back on real country music. I guess you and your Honkey tonk Badonka Donk would understand that!
Jackson Taylor is the embodiment of what is missing in music of all genres today. A man who isn’t afraid to state his opinions, political correctness be damned. I love Jackson’s music and hope he never changes a bit. And all those haters can kiss our Texas music arse!
Jackson Taylor is the next Hank Williams, all you Nashville bitches hated him too, didn’t like him untill he died. Kepp on JT
