"Hotels & Dreamers" was voted by the jury of FOLKER! music magazine as the #1 CD on their list of best albums of the year 2004.
11 impressive songs by the 'traveler' reflecting his "lessons learned along the way" - sung with his typical voice full of character, accompanied by well known musicians playing tasteful arrangements.
Allan about his new CD : "Ive got a whole lot of dreams and I can dream for you"; hotels for the lost and the lonely and the night-time lovers of good times, singing and trading songs and guitar licks and fiddle tunes and stories of the road all played out in the Mission Hotel for the waitress who "dreams in the kitchen and stands real close to the door"; back to where it began at number 9 Rue Git-le-Coeur, Paris, home of the Beats who started me on this road."
"(Allan Taylor's) 3rd album for the venerated audiophile cult-label is, from the very first note, a tour-de-force of tonal beauty and consistent ambition. The warm tones of the voice, acoustic guitars, bass and strings combine in an incredibly tasteful embrace. Those who enjoy Mark Knopfler's solo works will be more than happy with Allan's songs, which seem to exist outside of the space-time-continuum. A masterful album, far above the trend."
