Album Description
The follow up to bluesman Otis Taylor's 2003 Telarc debut
'Truth is Not Fiction', 'Double V' comprises a dozen songs written,
arranged and produced by himself. Demonstrating a deep connection to his
heritage, 'Double V' continues Taylor's very direct and personal commentary
on the plight of African-Americans.

A highly regarded blues artist Otis Taylor, nominated for 4 WC Handy Awards
and 'Truth Is Not Fiction' was in the Top 10 Album's of 2003 for both the
New York Times and Washington Post. On 'Double V' he continues his
experiments with an unusual sound, featuring his daughter Cassie on bass
and on vocals plus four cellos and trumpet on various tracks. This unique
approach to the blues earned Taylor the description as "one of the genre's
most original practitioners in years."
