Award-winning storyteller, shaman and musical visionary Otis Taylor’s live performances are like fireworks – kaleidoscopic, riveting, explosive and wildly entertaining. Now thrilling audiences at sold-out clubs and festivals around the world as he tours behind his new album Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat, this legendary stage presence is bringing those qualities to new heights.
Taylor is presenting Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat in its entirety in concert. The rich, compelling song cycle is a mesmerizing modern masterpiece that employs the classic hit made famous by the Jimi Hendrix Experience as a foundation for spinning a hypnotic web about, as Taylor relates, “decisions and their consequences, and how those outcomes can change our lives.”
With a structure and scope similar to Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, the epic Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat enshrines Taylor’s heralded “trance blues” sound — delivered live with virtuosic fire by his band. Taylor is, of course, always at the fore, his commanding baritone voice and unique approach to banjo and guitar illuminating Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat’s visionary landscape.
