Ride Me Down is a country dance band.

Katherine Taylor sings and writes songs born of rural American tradition, songs of people and place...  It all began with the gospel hymns of her youth in a Mississippi Baptist Church. She later studied Bluegrass and Old Time in the Appalachian Mountains of Johnson City, Tennessee and first heard the earliest recordings of ballad singers, fiddle and banjo tunes, blues and spirituals, and bluegrass musicians, picking up a little clawhammer banjo on the way. She is also influenced by the early rockabilly and blues artists of Memphis, Tennessee - having lived along the Mississippi River in that city seeped in rhythm and sound.
