Bee Taylor’s Gas Station Takeover is a refreshing short film. Directed by Bee Taylor, produced by Cody Brooks, starring Bee Taylor. March 5, 2021 is the date for the soft release of the film.
The film has a direct and thoughtful energy to it when Bee is conversing with us. When she is interviewed you feel her emotion and desire to share her talent. The scenes effortlessly move between the short narratives and the music. During the concert portions of the film, the camera scans the room. Catching each of the band members, their instruments, Bee and her piano. The visuals of Bee’s hands on the keys, the burning tiparillo, her curlers, fishnets, and each individual completely wrapped up in the music they are creating is clever. It makes you feel as if you are in the room with them.
Bee Taylor’s original music is ever evolving. Bee has a strong, concise, soulful voice. Her piano playing is her newest endeavor, and it is reminiscent of Dr. John, Professor Longhair, and Marcia Ball. Strong notes and rhythm pounded out on the piano. Her new songs are steeped in those New Orleans piano influences. The tracks: 10 Foot Pole, Company, Warmer Weather, The Way I Am, Seersucker Suit, and Phoebe Jones also have that southern woman punch to them. Don’t Call Me Darlin’ is a smokey nightclub make-you-sway kind of song. Closing out the film, Undercover, is pure southern funk. Bee’s band is well-oiled and tight. They transition nicely from track to track.
So as Bee would say “don’t dilly dally around” watch the film. Then go check out the rest of Bee Taylor’s music at beetaylormusic.com. In conclusion, when the world comes back around to live music make sure Bee Taylor and band is on your list of live shows.
