Andrew Lewis Taylor is a British multi-instrumentalist musician, born and raised in Barnet, North London, UK, in the late 1960s. He started in the music business as a guitarist touring with the psychedelic rock band Edgar Broughton Band.[1] In 1986 he began performing as Sheriff Jack, releasing two albums of psychedelia music, Laugh Yourself Awake (1986) and What Lovely Melodies! (1987). As Lewis Taylor, he released his self-titled album in 1996, through Island Records, with tracks including "Bittersweet" and "Lucky" being released as singles. The album showcased a significant departure from psychedelia towards Neo soul and was highly acclaimed [2] in the music press. Lewis Taylor became "an album that everybody talked about but few bought". [3]


Taylor released his album Stoned, Pt.1 in 2002 on his own label named Slow Reality, and followed it up in 2004 with a sequel, Stoned, Pt.2[4]


In June 2006, Lewis Taylor retired from music.[5] As Andrew Taylor, he had since been musical director and bass player for Gnarls Barkley, and guitarist/backing vocalist for the Edgar Broughton Band [6] and The Drivers.[7] In 2016, Caroline Records re-issued his debut album on CD with a bonus disc comprising the b-sides, Lucky remixes and extended version of Bittersweet.
