Jimmy Scott

About me:

I have been a professional musician for the majority of my life (see: www.jimmyscott.com for more info.) I've traveled all over the world in my profession, but at the moment I'm currently in Texas, having recently put my career on hold and rented my house out to (temporarily) relocate from California (home sweet home!!!) to be closer to my 3 year old son, to establish my parental rights, and for more visitation time with him. I'm a Daddy!!! ;-) Industry Quotes: (Eric Baum, Sony Corp.): Jimmy Scott is the real deal with a guitar. An authentic American original musician who has all of the creative talent and hard earned tools to express the sound of our diverse culture.

(Stephen Patt, Vintage Guitar Magazine.): ...Robert Johnson ain't dead...his trouble-making, restless spirit lives on in the body of one Jimmy Scott, a wild, fiery guitarist who seems to be literally everywhere in Southern California, no mean feat, playing a stinging beat-up blonde Gibson ES-335 with tremendous verve, bringing to mind the original Chicago bluesmen.

He's in touch with the grand masters of the recent past - Paul Kossoff, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and the like - and at the same time, he brings to this classic sort of style a melodic bluesiness all his own. Tonally, Scott runs it all the way from vintage single-coiled, woody Stratocaster sounds to buzzard-killing, gnaw on your bones Les Paul screams from hell. Jimmy is a guitar freak in the best way, a lover of the guitar and everything those six strings have ever meant. He is a bona fide Electric Guitarist - capital E, capital G - and is someone who not only plays the blues, but is a modern-day, 21st century example of someone who is living it.
