On today's episode I talk to musician Maria Taylor. Originally
from Birmingham, AL, Maria's been playing music for a majority of
her life. Her first band, Little Red Rocket, which she formed with
Orenda Fink as a teenager, was signed to Geffen in the mid-'90s and
eventually morphed into Azure Ray. As Azure Ray, Maria and Orenda
released four albums and numerous EPs, mostly on Saddle Creek
Records. On her own, Maria has released seven solo albums, both on
Saddle Creek and her own label Flower Moon Records, she's
contributed music to numerous television soundtracks, and she's
collaborated with everyone from Bright Eyes to Moby to Michael
Stipe to Daniel Johnston. At the end of October, Azure Ray released
Waves, their first new music in over half-a-decade. And it's
great!
