TAYLOR MCCALL’S NEW SONG “RED HANDED” DEBUTS TODAY

DEBUT ALBUM BLACK POWDER SOUL OUT SEPTEMBER 24 FALL TOUR DATES CONFIRMED

August 19, 2021—Emerging singer, songwriter and musician Taylor McCall’s new song, “Red Handed,” is debuting today. Listen/share HERE.

“Red Handed” is the third song unveiled from McCall’s anticipated full-length debut album, Black Powder Soul, which will be released September 24 via Thirty Tigers (pre-order/pre-save HERE). Produced by Sean McConnell (Michael Franti, Wade Bowen), Black Powder Soul is the product of a winding musical journey for McCall that began at age seven when he received his first guitar. In the years since, the South Carolina native and avid outdoorsman and fisherman has formed his own sense of unique musicianship—incorporating self-taught styles that fit each song rather than following conventional techniques. With Black Power Soul’s fourteen tracks, including a special prologue featuring the voice his late grandfather, McCall explores the balance of good and evil, destruction and healing and the importance of having faith in the darkest of times.

Ahead of the release, McCall has unveiled two additional album tracks: “So Damn Lucky” and “Highway Will,” of which Rolling Stone praises, “a brooding debut…spooky percussion and a vocal rumble reminiscent of Johnny Cash’s version of ‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’.” Since its debut earlier this summer, “Highway Will” has garnered over 311,000 streams across platforms.

Reflecting on the album, McCall shares, “This, to me, felt like what I’d been dreaming about for years…Black Powder Soul is the circle of life: you’re dropped off here, by the old ship of Zion, and everything in between is life itself, from good to bad. The things that clutter up the pure soul are all in here. We all have a black powder soul that can explode, but there is redemption in all of us too.”
