Chip Taylor makes his fifth visit to Mountain Stage, recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.Va. Even if he hadn't written some of the best-known songs in pop music, including "Wild Thing" and "Angel Of The Morning," Taylor might still be a contender for the real-life Most Interesting Man In The World.
In the mid-'70s, he left the music business to work, at various times, as a golf pro, as a professional blackjack player (finishing third in the Las Vegas World Championship), and as one of the most respected horse-race handicappers on the East Coast.
Taylor appears here with his longtime guitarist John Platania, known for his classic session work with Van Morrison, along with the Mountain Stage Band.
