A Kansas City musician returns with a new album and a venture with Playboy

Cassie Taylor is set to debut her new record, "Desire," this fall. The release comes after taking a break from music and finding her true identity in different professions such as songwriting, photography and now modeling for Playboy.
Sensual, slow and cinematic is how Kansas City-based musician Cassie Taylor described her new album, "Desire."

Taylor got an early start to her music career. Her father is blues artist Otis Taylor. When she was 16, his bass player backed out of their national tour.

"My dad was like, 'You're gonna learn how to play bass, and you're gonna come on the road with me,'" she said. "I learned how to play bass in two and a half weeks and then I went on a national tour with my dad."
