Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Eric Taylor is an American singer-songwriter from Texas. He is known for his anecdotal songs which often take the form of short stories. In addition to Taylor's seven solo releases, his songs have been recorded by Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett and many others. Eric Taylor was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 25, 1949. His father had been raised in the Greenville/Spartanburg area of South Carolina and when he was six months old Eric's parents moved there. Aged eleven, Eric moved back to Georgia. From an early age, the youngster wrote poetry and short stories, "I spent a lot of time alone when I was a kid." At age thirteen, Taylor purchased his first guitar for $2.50, even though it lacked tuning pegs. He soon became adept at tuning with pliers.
