'' is the title of the first solo album by
Daniel Amos frontman,
Terry Scott Taylor , released in 1986 on Shadow Records.
Most of the songs on ''Knowledge & Innocence'' were written after the death of Taylor's grandfather and the miscarriage of his and his wife's first child.
- Although the two were close friends since the 1970s, this album marks the first time that Taylor and singer/songwriter Randy Stonehill have ever recorded a duet together. The two friends join forces on the William Blake inspired, "Song of Innocence."
