Step Aside! is Blue Taxi's third and best CD. The album shows how the 10-year-old band's members have blossomed as musicians and, especially, as songwriters.
All 12 of the disc's tunes were penned by band members, and they're all keepers. Bill Capuano proves conclusively he's one of the better electric guitarists Northeast Ohio has ever heard.
Step Aside! shows the quartet at the top of its game.

Ohio's BLUE TAXI is a blues band,there's no questioning that fact. But, their music, especially on this, their third release, goes above and beyond your typical blues sound. There's elements of pop, country, folk, as well as some great instrumentation. On top of all thet, the trade off between male & female vocals adds even more flavor to this already tasty release.
- Paul Autry

Its time one of the great blues labels like Telarc or Alligator pay attention and sign this group up before somebody else does. They really have their act together, literally.
Da blues doesn't rock any harder or get more down to earth and soulful than this. Step aside, there's a Blue Taxi comin'your way, and it's not gonna stop for anyone.

Oh yeah....do you feel that?? It's a feeling of deep emotion embedded in sounds colored blue w/every color of the rainbow shining thru. Twelve songs of great variety.....the base here is definitely BLUES but BLUE
TAXI take you on a ride beyond the blues with R N'R, pop, rockabilly & superb musicianship.
Not that they could do much more to add to their winning sound, but the fact that they switch from female & male leading vocals adds much more diversity to such an already excellent release.
I love this CD.
Why don't YOU have it yet??

  • Awesome blues and rock
    author: "Upper Room with Joe Kelley" radio show

    Blending outstanding musicianship in blues and rock with great vocals, BLUE TAXI is a band to get excited about. Step Aside! builds upon the greatness of their previous releases. Go out and see them live in the Cleveland area and watch them turn it up a few notches.

    Blue Taxi's "Step Aside" CD lets everybody know that Blue Taxi is a musical force to be reckoned with. Bill Capuano's awesome blues-style guitar playing commands respect from even the best of musicians. Kurt England's raw vocal prowess shines on "Saigon Blues" and his songwriting artistry emerges on "Left of Center", a song that will touch the heart of every listener who has one. Theresa Capuano's distinctive bluesy vocal style on "Blues for Breakfast" adds spice and personality to an already exciting mix of music while Bob Capuano's backbone beat holds it all together.

  • I really like this new CD - Lots of depth imbedded in that-thar plastic!!
    author: Mark B.

    Blue Taxi has matured as a band... and as songwriters... Each track on this new CD has depth and meaning... to the casual listener, and to the band members themselves... This disc is not a "one-time play", it is rather a collection of songs to be savored... again, and again!
