Floyd Taylor was the pianist in Paul Williams’ band for a long time. He was in fact Williams’ cousin and is the nominal leader of this Regal session that features the Williams band from early 1950. Taylor was a blues specialist and his ability is evident throughout the session. "Bar B Q" is quite like "The Hucklebuck", Williams’ chart topping smash of 1949 complete with its false ending.
