“For some time now, we’ve all just been trying to get by. Now, it’s back to the basics, myself and some great musical pals getting back out there to play some rock.”

While it took Roger Taylor eight years, and a pandemic, to deliver his sixth and most successful solo album to date – last year’s warmly embraced Outsider – Taylor swiftly returns with another to add to his solo canon of work.

Taylor is to release a live album recorded during his hugely successful October 2021 Outsider UK tour which saw the Queen founding member perform a series of ‘intimate’ shows: “my modesty tour, I just want it to be lots of fun, very good musically”, said Taylor at the time of announcing his first live performances outside of Queen in over twenty years.

Coming on Vinyl, as a 2CD set, and digital release, Taylor’s The Outsider Tour Live, featuring 22 tracks performed across his 14-date sold out late 2021 tour becomes available September 30.

‘Outsider’ is Taylor’s first album of new material since 2013’s ‘Fun On Earth’. With much of the album being recorded during lockdown, it finds Taylor in a reflective mood. Across the record he conveys a palpable sense of seclusion, concerns over the passing of time, and tellingly, dedicates it ‘to all the outsiders, those who feel left on the sidelines’. A highly personal project, the instrumentation is almost entirely performed by Taylor, with his largely restrained vocals matching the album’s contemplative ambience. But Taylor does cut loose along the way with a foray into some hard-riffing blues-rock as well as an adrenalin charged BIG surprise retread of a classic 1965 novelty song.
