Mick Taylor

Mick Taylor is a rock star guitarist whose most significant fame comes from being a member of The Rolling Stones from 1969 to 1974. His big break came at age 16 in Welwyn Garden City, he sat in on a performance by John Mayalls’ Bluesbreakers, replacing Eric Clapton who was absent. Taylor became part of the band and then when The Rolling Stones needed a new guitar, he auditioned with them.
As luck would have it, this positioned Mick Taylor to be present through the golden age of The Rolling Stones’ fame, with the albums “Let It Bleed,” “Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out,” “Sticky Fingers,” “Exile On Main St.,” and “Goats Head Soup.” After leaving the Stones in 1974, Mick Taylor pursued solo and side projects, such as performing with Mike Oldfield, Little Feat, and Pierre Moerlen’s Gong. He secured a solo contract with Atlantic Records, and toured with Black Sabbath and Grateful Dead. He has also been ranked #37 by Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
