After three years in the making, Hughes Taylor is thrilled to finally share his latest project: Roasted, a full-length album that blends the soul of blues rock with raw, electrifying energy. Roasted is a melding of two parts: Dark Roast, which dives deep into the heavier, darker side of blues rock, and Light Roast, which embraces a more upbeat, vibrant energy. Together, these two halves form a complete musical experience that showcases Hughes’s growth as both a guitarist and a songwriter. Roasted blends raw guitar riffs, soulful grooves, and expressive vocals into a sound that feels both fresh and familiar. Because so many of these songs were performed live for such a long time, Hughes and his band have successfully created an album that truly represents where they are as a group. Now, after all the twists and turns, Hughes is excited to finally share Roasted with the world. It’s been a labor of love, and he’s incredibly proud of how it turned out.
