With over twenty years in Rock and Roll to his credit, Mick has lent his talents to great artists such as The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and his first mentor, John Mayall.

The following two year association produced three albums for London Records and great acclaim from fans and critics alike. Mick joined The Rolling Stones in 1968 at the height of the summer of love and made his first public at the legendary Hyde Park Festival. For the next six years Mick Taylor's unique sound would help the now legendary song writing team of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards set a precedent for all of Rock and Roll to follow. His contributions are evident in such classic albums as Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, It's Only Rock and Roll, Goat's Head Soup and Exile on Main Street. After leaving The Rolling Stones, he released a critically acclaimed solo album for Columbia Records. In 1983, Mick joined Bob Dylan for the recording of the Infidels album.
