Ben Taylor - Oh Brother

I've been a big Ben Taylor fan ever since seeing him open for Tracy Chapman at The Fillmore in San Francisco while I was in college.  He is, incidentally, James Taylor and Carly Simon's son.  His new album, Listening, is coming out in August, but he just released a song through Rolling Stone, "Oh Brother."  I can't embed it, but here's the link to listen to "Oh Brother."



He's also touring a little this summer, only really on the east coast.  Below are the tour dates and links he sent out through his mailing list, in addition to a video of my favorite Ben Taylor song, "Nothing I Can Do" which he wrote for his mom.
