The 21st of September marks the release of Jonny Taylor’s infectious new single “Never Look Back” and the start of an extensive tour across the Northern Territory and Western Australia including a ‘radio tour’ featuring interviews and visits to radio stations Australia wide. Stay tuned for announcements about the Eastern State leg of his Tour!!
Never Look Back is the follow up single to Taylor’s ‘Young Man’ release which shot to #23 on the iTunes rock charts in May this year following his success on the hit TV show Australia’s Got Talent and airplay support across country music stations. The new single hits iTunes stores from the 21st September and will also feature on Taylor’s new album scheduled for release in April 2013.
Recorded with Golden Guitar winning ‘Producer of the Year’ Matt Fell at Love Hz Studios in Sydney, Taylor says the recording process with Never Look Back was a great experience and he can’t wait to complete the album. “Working with Matt was an absolute pleasure. I was nervous about letting somebody else into the creative element of my music because song writing is such a personal thing, but Matt and I both come from backgrounds a little off-skew from country which means he respects my direction and in turn I respect his input. The results are unreal and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve created.”
Never Look Back is a perfect depiction of Taylor’s trademark sound which can best be described as grunge flavoured contemporary country- or as Taylor calls it; “Gruntry”. As a fresh face in the country scene, Taylor says that it is more important now than ever to maintain some of his rock and grunge roots as it’s what sets him apart and makes his sound unique.
2012 has been a year of huge success for Taylor who’s last single recorded as the most downloaded independent track to radio libraries around Australia at the end of April, resulting in the single receiving airplay on approximately 180 radio programs made up of Commercial, ABC, Country and Community stations Australia wide.
The official film clip to Never Look Back can be viewed Friday the 21st of September, and the single available to purchase on iTunes the same day.

Singer-songwriter Joe South – who penned tunes for Elvis Presley; played on landmark recordings by Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin; and wrote hits including the Grammy-winning "Games People Play" and "(I Never Promised You) A Rose Garden" – has died at 72 after a heart attack, the BBC reports.
South was born Joseph Souter on February 28th, 1940, in Atlanta. He began playing guitar at 11, and was just 17 when he joined Nashville producer Pete Drake's band in 1957. South became a studio musician, meeting artists like Simon and Garfunkel, Dylan and Franklin, and began to seriously write songs that blended country and pop with a hint of psychedelia in the Sixties.
He recorded with Dylan on his 1966 classic Blonde on Blonde, played on Franklin's 1967 single "Chain of Fools" and saw Elvis Presley sing his "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" on Presley's' 1970 live album On Stage. South's track "Hush" later became a hit for Deep Purple, and he won two Grammys in 1969 for his single "Games People Play." South's biggest hit came in 1971 when Lynn Anderson covered "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden)."
South took several years off after the suicide of his brother Tommy. He made a brief return in 1975 with a new album, Midnight Rainbows, but walked away from the industry soon afterwards. Drug abuse hampered his career, and South's first marriage ended in divorce. He eventually went to rehab before marrying for a second time in 1987.
A funeral service will be held Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia.

After hearing the KAYLENS RAIN single ‘Outta Here’, Steve White (Lee Kernaghan/McClymonts Management) declared KAYLENS RAIN “The best new act I have seen in ages” and promptly booked the Sydney duo for a gig with The McClymonts.
Glen and Kaylee Harrison of KAYLENS RAIN are making a lot of people sit up and take note. Their latest single ‘Outta Here’ walked straight on to many playlists and is moving its way up the charts.
With the debut album FOUND set for release on October 19, KAYLENS RAIN are sure to set the path towards the success they hope for.
Garry Hoffman from DAB station The Buckle professed “Kaylens Rain is the most exciting young act in Australian Country Music. Their first single “Is That All There Is” set a benchmark for contemporary country here on every level, and their new single proves it was no fluke. There’s no reason at all Kaylens Rain can’t cut it on the world stage, sign me up for the cheer squad. Can’t wait for the album”
"We're serious about what we do - and we want to make good music," says Glen. "This album has been a long time in the making, writing songs, sourcing songs that we could relate to and working with producer Andrew Cochrane to develop our own sound."
And it's a sound that is sure to have broad appeal not only to country fans but a whole new audience of music lovers.
FOUND is an album that will take you on a journey, from driving guitar riffs to beautiful sibling harmonies, from heartbreaking love songs to inspirational lyrics.
With their sights set firmly on the future, Kaylee is keen to see what the coming year holds for the duo. “Getting this album out is so exciting for us – and we're looking forward to touring and playing to new fans. There is nothing like the buzz you get when someone comes up and says we've made their day. It makes it all worthwhile.[video]http://youtu.be/pRH_S30hv3c[/video]
