Folk and Americana singer-songwriter Julian Taylor is sharing “City Song,” the latest release featured in his upcoming Anthology collection, out on October 20th, which reflects on his storied career as frontman of Staggered Crossing, the Julian Taylor Band, and his work as a solo artist.
“City Song” draws its inspiration from Julian’s first travels as a touring musician with Staggered Crossing. “I had not anticipated that life on the road would be so tough and so unglamorous. It’s a song about trying to justify being away and my own desire to explore a world that I hadn’t yet but also partially regretting the way that I had chosen to do it,” explains Taylor.
The mournful folk song is a troubadour’s tale of touring across Canada, buoyed by dreams but frightened by the reality of being unable to make ends meet in Julian’s early days as a working artist.
