I have to say I think Taylor Hanson has a fantastic voice. He could well turn out to be the Paul Rodgers/Robert Hart of his generation. Unfortunately I think they have a major problem trying to regain some credibility solely for being so damn young when the first album was released. How do you convince a 30/40 year old audience to listen to a band who were on the cover of 'Smash Hits'? That's the dilemma. Their 'target' audince is very different from the one they get. But it's down to the record company to sort that out right?

I hardly think anyone will take any notice of me here but the new album 'This Time Around' is well worth checking out. More bluesy this time with the addition of teen blues sensation Johnny Lang contributing on a few tunes. And yes they do write all their own songs on this album.

Just don't dismiss them quite yet.
