The Michael Earnie Taylor Orchestra, based in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, recently released a CD of cover songs and originals called $3 Pants. The recording is a lively collection of 13 songs, some of them covers of hits by well-known writers from June Carter to Ian Tyson. Also included are six originals, written either solely by Michael Earnie Taylor or in collaboration between Taylor and other songwriters. The effort was recorded in Stratford and produced by Taylor for Laughing Cactus Group. Other musicians contributing to the CD include Jeff Laughton on bass, Ross Mulligan on guitar with vocals and kazoos by Terri Dans and Carol Miller. Michael Earnie Taylor contributes guitar, kazoo and vocals. This first song, featured here, is Ring Of Fire, written by June Carter, wife of Johnny Cash who had a big hit with it. $3 Pants is available in the Corner Store.
