ten different languages and numerous cover versions of his other songs, also in many different languages. Taylor's song "Roll on the Day", developed from his personal experience of visiting with an ex-coal miner and witnessing the effects on him of a lifetime of working in a coal mine. In The Oxford Book of Traditional Verse, Dr. Frederick Woods comments: "Allan Taylor is one of the more literate and sensitive of contemporary songwriters in terms of words and music, and one who is capable of exploring more complex subjects than most of his contemporaries… he should probably be regarded as potentially the most important songwriter of his generation." So with a career that spans from 1966 to the present, Taylor has a significant degree of experience and maturity in his music. Taylor continues to record and perform concerts throughout Europe. He currently resides in Leeds, England.
