"More than anything, his new material sounds more confident. Not that he was a shaky performer before, but with a new lease on life and a lot more light to keep that ever-present darkness at bay, he sounds more serene, more sure of himself and his art, than ever before. A weary voice and emotion-laced lyrics keep songs like "Louisiana" on the bittersweet side of melancholy, while a song like "Let Me Stay the Night" is steeped in such soulful passion that you can practically smell the scented candles burning on the nightstand beside a disheveled bed occupied by two lovers."
(Steve Wildsmith, The Daily Times) (To read the entire article CLICK HERE!)
"Somewhere within Scott McMahan's wounded, tender voice there's a tremor that makes women want to take him home, make him some stew, smooth the worry from his brow and put him to bed. His soulful, self-effacing songs are about long drives home when you'd really hoped to stay the night; they're about unanswered phone calls, and love too-long unreciprocated."
(Metro Pulse)
"Scott has this Otis Redding/Van Morrison thing going that is amazing." (Maryville Times Weekend Edition)
