   About R. Scott
The music of R. SCOTT is a unique mix of deep soul, New Orleans-style r&b, jazz, blues, cabaret and pop styles forging a sound of its own - keyboard based and horn heavy(!). Staying prolific with an eclectic string of releases to his credit, his newest release - MAD FORMS & TWISTED POSES - is his second solo release. SCOTT regularly performs his songs solo, as well as with his group THE CARNEVEL KINGS, plays keys for Mod/Powerpop group THE NEW FIDELITY as well as the latin/funk brotherhood OO SOUL. VENT PROD. is his banner for all things creative. His DO YOUR WORST! RECORDS music catalog is available for TV/Flim licensing via THE DB COLLECTIVE.

NEXT SHOW:



MAD FORMS & TWISTED POSES REVIEWS:

...Showcasing R. Scott’s deep, grizzly voice sing-songing over string and horn sections, Mad Forms peaks with “Stumblin’ (In the Dark)” a bluesy, boozy jaunt through the New Orleans soundscape that would perhaps be best paired with some freshly squeezed spiked lemonade. It’s followed by its sister-song, the slower, ever so slightly more sober “Goin’ South” (dig the piano and horn breakdown at 1:40).

Standing out on Twisted Poses, “When Sound Had Feel,” sends you toward the album’s close with its simple lyrics and instrumentation, a fantastically quiet reverie about louder times (“When sound had feel/the lions roared/It shook us all awake.”) In this instance, it’s good the lions are still dreaming. - Ellen Griley/The DISTRICT WEEKLY

SNAKE OIL ELIXIR REVIEWS:

This dank, musky piano blues album is calloused but persistent, resonant and ripe with imagery...The feel of these songs can't be understated; while it's hard enough to write an honest melody, it's all the more impressive when a track can evoke a different time or place. - CD BABY

**** - 4 STARS. When I heard you went solo, I doubted your ability to top your previous group, but somehow you have. - Ryan Ritchie/THE PRESS TELEGRAM

...singer-keyboardist Scott is back with his first solo project and it's a joy. - Robert Kinsler/THE OC REGISTER

This cycle of songs is the creative forte by an original talent...My favorite albums are always the ones that get better each time I play them. - Machi via CD BABY page

A BOURBON STREET HEADLINER author: Chip Hiebler (via CD Baby) Well maybe not yet, but R. Scott sure should be...Scott, if you're listening, cut a new CD and pack your bags for New Orleans and get famous!
