I
can't say enough good things about
Scott. Incredible musician! Hand him an instrument with a
fretboard and he makes it sings! An accomplished composer,
arranger and performer, Scott is also an author with a recent
publication on Right Hand Techniques titled Finger
Picking Plus.
Check out Scott's site for his
book and some sample tunes. One of my favorites is Count
Me In from Scott's Follow Me CD - High Quality,
so it's a little large but WELL worth the listen!
A
little Blues straight from Paris!

Guelta blues : In the smoke and
the din of the noisy bars of Paris, dikis of Bored until the
bouis-bouis of Kentucky, the voice of the weak preacher spits
on the polluted dust of the macadam, a rough guelta blues.
While the right sax trace the solitary lanes, that the harmonica
shells the calls of the last suburban train, a strangled voice
pushes a tearing song "I am the blue lizard, the androgyne
crowned, the comma of God on the walls of the city".
... an off-hand air and a raspy voice, the blues of Azzedeen,
this free-Tunisian releases a new feeling, a new will of assertion
of oneself in combinations the blues-rock'n'roll-East. The texts
are skinned sharp and the whole recreating an impression of power.
It is described like "the motionless angel, the single specimen".
it is quite true. ..Sample his music: the
blue lizard . (March 2004)
