Taylor has been touring the country with folk singer Kate Taylor (sister of James Taylor) since 2003 and has appeared with Dar Williams, Carly Simon, Levon Helm and many others. "Notebook" is a double CD collection with 14 of Taylor's original songs and 2 covers ('Ain't No Lie' and 'Trouble in Mind'). Co-producer Gordon Millsaps decided that the first disc would be more filled out and full band sounding, while the second disc would be very intimate and acoustic. Nearly every take from the CD is 'live performance style' with minimal overdubs. The jazz training of percussionist Rigel Byrum-Ridge and bassist Andrew Lipow adds a whole other dimension to Taylor's sound. "Notebook" is the result of hard work and spontaneous musical performance.
