Think We Need a Gunslinger
You might say we have adopted 2006 American Idol Taylor Hicks as the official musician of Legal Schnauzer. As a Birmingham-based blog, we think it makes sense to honor a "local boy done good."

But our appreciation for Hicks goes beyond the fact that he's from these parts. We like his rootsy music, his "up-by-the-bootstraps" back story, and his appreciation for those who came before him. Perhaps more than any other contestant on Idol, Hicks seemed to understand that modern music is built on the greats of yesteryear. When he sang "Levon" by Elton John or "Living for the City" by Stevie Wonder, you got the impression he wasn't just covering a song. You got the feeling he really "knew" those songs, that he had listened to them perhaps hundreds of times.

This is the third time the Legal Schnauzer has said kind words about Taylor in his blog - that is pretty great! Loved this latest - :)

It is always great to have someone in Taylor's corner! Besides his Soul Patrol -

Great article and so true. Taylor is definitely someone who can really bring back the great music of yesteryear.
