Religious Sects Collide In Crown Of Thorns' 'Rock Ready' Video

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - If it wasn't for those 'slimy sneaky mother jumpers' Jon Voight and Dr. Barry Voight, Chip Taylor could have been Itzhak Pearlman at Carnegie Hall.

That's what the legendary songwriter says about his 'Bastard Brothers' on the standout track of the same name from his new album 'Yonkers, NY,' out October 27 on Trainwreck Records. The song details Taylor's forced move from being a violinist to a guitar player as a seven-year-old, which was facilitated by the other brothers Voight.

Taylor's first instrument was a violin, but his playing so annoyed his two brothers that they convinced their parents to secretly switch the violin with a less screechy instrument. So when Taylor was seven-years-old, he awoke Christmas morning to a ukulele from Santa, with his beloved violin nowhere to be found. The ukulele eventually lead to a guitar, which led Taylor down his musical path.

'Yonkers, NY' is a heartfelt and endearing window into the life of a young man learning about music, horses, girls, - and family. Set in the small bedroom community just north of the Bronx that's the album's namesake, 'Yonkers, NY' finds the gifted storyteller chronicling his upbringing in a style that ranges from poignant and affecting to wry, and occasionally truly hilarious.
