Joanne Shaw Taylor är född 1986 i England men bor nu i Detroit, Michigan. Hon är en blues-rock gitarrist och sångerska. Hon har väckt stor uppmärksamhet med framför allt sitt gitarrspel.
Här spelar hon vid Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival 2011:
R&B

Riktigt bra på gitarr och med en aning grövre blusröst så kan hon säkert kliva in bland dom största.

"Sylvia's mother says"
written by Shel Silverstein

Artist: Dr. Hook

Dr Hook
Lyrics:
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying, to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy, so why don't you leave her alone
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes
CHORUS:
Please Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her
Goodbye

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packing, she's going be leaving today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marrying, a fellow down Galveston-Way
Sylvia's mother says Please don't say nothing, to make her start crying and stay
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

CHORUS

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurrying, she's catching the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says Take your umbrella, cause Sylvia it's starting to rain
And Sylvia's mother says Thank you for calling and sir won't you come back again
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

CHORUS

Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
Goodbye
