About

This Dove award winner is the most recognizable name in Christian Easy Listening. A conservative, Celtic-influenced, high tenor songster, Talbot most often is for the faint of heart, even though in the early days of his career he once opened for Janis Joplin. He's delivered a steady stream of classical compositions and instrumental aptitude since the 1960s, and his list of albums continues to grow like a Chia Pet, their styles floating between classical folk and classical ballet, chamber and orchestral music.
