Will Scott: Reviews

Semi-finalist for Blues song category, "Gnawbone" (written by Will Scott and Christopher "Preacher Boy" Watkins)

Top 50 tracks to download. "Indianan adds a tribal beat to his Delta blues and sounds like that ol’ hellhound isn’t too far off his trail. Few people manage to make the blues modern. Will Scott is one of them."

Solid, heavy, trance-like rhythms bubblin' up from a cool Mississippi hill country spring with just a sweet bit of twang. A timeless, layered voice somewhere between our patron saint, The Swamp Fox, Tony Joe White and the great Gordon Lightfoot after a three day whiskey-bent bender. He's a soulful and gifted songwriter with a sound thick as Tupelo honey. This album knocked us out. We got the title track on eleven here at Southern Brand, shakin' the shingles. Check him out here. Buy this man's music. Catch him live.

"Gnawbone is a beauty... finished to perfection, both instrumental and vocal."

...A remarkable artist, who knows good songwriting... Just Class!"

"Will Scott, his voice as thick as blood, sometimes accompanies with guitar; his weird liturgies bring out the pathos in pop."

"Between his uniquely beautiful voice, talented six-string skills and haunting melodies, Scott shines a ray of light into a dark and dying music industry."

"Some of the most innovative pieces of blues songwriting of the year.”

“Guitarist Will Scott has a good vibrato and a knack for surprises….”

"Gifted"

"Best weekly blues show in New York."

"Scott’s music is a powerful blend of Blues and Americana."

"Scott is a real find, with a very high ceiling... Scott’s fingerpicking was fiery, fast and effortless, and so were his vocals... he’s a whole lot more interesting than Cephas and Wiggins."

"One of the great up-and-coming voices of our time."
