Russ Taff and Steve Taylor: Two Longtime Titans of Christian Music on How They Finally Joined Forces for Taff’s Raw, Emotionally Revelatory ‘Cover Story’
Russ Taff and Steve Taylor, who both came to fame as Christian music stars in the '80s, discuss how Taylor came to produce Taff's 'Cover Story' album.
If there was one thing that followers of contemporary Christian music probably could have felt assured would never show up on their gospel-music bingo card, it would be that Russ Taff would never be found covering a song by the group the National. Earthiness becomes Taff, who has surprised and captivated his fan base in the last few years by releasing a candid memoir and then talking about his long-hidden dark side in places like the “Soft White Underbelly” video interview series. The evening is a celebration of Taff’s “Cover Story” album, with Taylor being joined as the opening act by his former band Chagall Guevara, an all-star group that recorded for MCA in the early ’90s and has only rarely reunited since.
