If you came to Lewis Taylor through his psychedelic soul masterpiece, 'Stoned,' the sun-soaked prog of 'The Lost Album' might come as a surprise. But don't worry. You can still wrap yourself in his melodies, float on his harmonies and marvel at the sheer virtuosity behind every meticulously-crafted song. It's a very different, but no less astonishing, side of Lewis Taylor. And one that nearly remained unheard.
'The Lost Album' began life as demos for the follow-up to Lewis Tayor's highly-acclaimed debut record. Labeled by the press as the second-coming of soul and expected to work within those confines, he shocked his then-label by indulging his love of progressive rock and West-coast pop. The demos were subsequently rejected by his label, and Taylor fulfilled his contract with another album of begrudgingly brilliant soul. Years later, on his own label, Lewis and collaborator Sabina Smyth revisited those demos and finally made the album they'd always envisioned. Upon its release in the UK, the British press embraced 'The Lost Album' with the same rapt enthusiasm as his previous work. Now HackTone Records is proud to present 'The Lost Album' in America - repackaged, remastered and expanded with three acoustic recordings of songs from his 1996 debut.
