notes
This CD represents an important step for the Taylor Harvey Band. With a re-vamped rhythm section sounding better than ever and the songwriting reaching higher ground, the band is poised to make some great progress.
Again we hear the trademark guitars, ranging from Taylor's acoustic 6 & 12 string rhythms to the soaring, anthemic leads ably supplied by sideman extraordinaire Tim Edwards. Edwards admittedly does some of his best work to date on this CD, culminating in the Layla-esque "3 a.m."
The rhythm section is a huge key to what makes this CD a step forward from the previous one. Drummer Boyd Gardiner and bassman Mike Chandler have created a groove that takes them from the studio, onto the stage and into your soul.
This CD gives a glimpse into the evolution of a songwriter, too. Taylor has penned 12 great songs here and only one came from "the vault." These songs reflect his happiness with the progress forged by this band, starting with "Heaven Starts Right Here," a tune that picks up where the Eagles left off, and carrying you all the way through to "I Don't Want To Die Tonight," easily his best songwriting to date.
This collection is already getting them noticed and invited to some of the premier original music venues in San Diego, and the guys are looking forward to what lies further up the road. It promises to be quite a ride, so jump on board and join in the fun.

Great songs, playing and vocals
author: BobBeauty in the eye is my first experience of this band - what have I been missing? Lots of good songs - Rock and Roll Angel is my favorite. Great vocals, the band is tight, and the lead playing is very tasty! Keep 'em coming!
My 346th CD Purchase
author: MarkOver the course of my music buying life, I've owned 500 albums, 495 cassettes and 345 CD's. The past year or 2, I've pretty much stopped buying CD's. There's just not much out there I like anymore. Having found THB and their combined lyrics, lead guitar and soulful vocals, looks like I'm back in the market. Great stuff guys.
Great mix of country, rock, and blues
author: blueshippy KMOD - Tulsa, OK.The latest Taylor Harvey Band CD “Beauty In The Eye” is well on its way to becoming 2005’s Best Unsigned Release. It’s a perfect mix of easy country, some killer rock, with a taste of the blues. All 12 songs are self-penned by Taylor and brought to life by one of the freshest sounding bands I’ve heard in a while. With Taylor on guitar and vocals, Tim Edwards on lead guitar and vocals, and drummer Boyd Gardiner and bassist Mike Chandler holding down the rhythm you can hear the years of experience coming together. Just one listen through this CD you should be able to feel the warm southern Cal breeze that had to influence the making of “Beauty In The Eye” and the Taylor Harvey Band. Enjoy!!
A kick ass CD with one great song after another!
author: Sneaky6From the great vocals to the insane guitar tones, Beauty In The Eye is my favorite release from THB. Like the song says, "Heaven starts right here"!
Next Stop, Music Row...
author: Lou West, SongBear Recording Artist, NashvilleGot my copy of "Beauty In The Eye" and listened to it for 5 straight hours. Taylor and the band have taken things to a new level, with the most finely crafted songs to date. Every song on this CD is of the quality to be cut by major label artists in Nashville. Don't miss out on this one! Well, done, THB...
