Info for Roasted, Pt. 1: Dark Roast

Taking cues from Southern Rocker predecessors, both past and present, Georgia native Hughes Taylor carries the torch with his own mix of blues and rock through his live shows and records, electrifying and soulful. Along with his band and other session players, they gathered in various studios, both physical and remote, with himself donning the producer’s hat to get the songs on tape along with Carl Jah of Dread Zepplin fame. The album was mixed at Capricorn Studios by Rob Evans (Chuck Leavell, Blackberry Smoke) and mastered by Chris Griffin at Griffin Mastering (drivn n cryin); Dark Roast May 17, 2024, on CPI Distribution.

This is Hughes’s fifth release, and he’s been busting at the chops to get this one out. The songs on Dark Roast are filled with greasy guitar riffs, thundering drums, a solid bassline, and Taylor’s expressive voice on top. A voice will recall Jonny Lang and Marcus King. Taylor wears his guitar influences out and proud: Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Gilmour, and Steve Gaines.
