MELVIN TAYLOR picture
American blues guitarist born 1959 in Jackson, Mississippi

Melvin Taylor is the proverbial musical prodigy. He donned his first axe in 1962 at age six, not long after his family left Mississippi for the Windy City. He learned guitar from his uncle and from recordings by B.B. King, Albert King, Wes Montgomery and later Jimi Hendrix.
