MICK TAYLOR was born on 17 January 1949
in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.

Happy 75 to a genuine guitar virtuoso.

He started his career with John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers replacing the late
legend Peter Green who started another iconic blues band Fleetwood Mac.

In 1966 he left the Bluesbreakers and joined The Rolling Stones 3 years later,
aged only 20, replacing the deceased Brian Jones. He played on 3 classic LPs,
Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St.

He also worked with other big artists such as Bob Dylan, Mike Oldfield, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Jack Bruce and Ronnie Wood who replaced Taylor in The Stones in 1974.

Here’s a stunning example of his remarkable guitar skills when playing at the
legendary Marquee Club in London performing The Stones’ Dead Flowers in 1971.
