Kyle Meredith with... Andy Taylor (Duran Duran)

Andy Taylor on Recovering From Pop, David Bowie’s Death, & Duran Duran’s Lost Reportage LP Andy Talor joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Man’s A Wolf To Man, his first solo album of original material in 36 years. The former Duran Duran guitarist talks about how he first considered a Power Station reunion before deciding to focus on himself, how his songwriting is recovering from a lifetime in pop, that David Bowie’s death had a major impact on his decision to return, and his thoughts on channeling music versus copying it. Taylor also draws the parallel of this new set to the politically charged lost Duran Duran album “Reportage,” simultaneously giving us the history of how the label held the band back from progressing artistically while also highlighting the new material that considers at the war in Ukraine, Brexit, and the lack of protest songs in pop while the likes of Jason Aldean and Anthony Oliver fill that spot in country music. #duranduran #andytaylor #podcast #80smusic
