“…boredom his amphetamine, a juvenile timebomb.”
Listening to his mom sing along with Nat King Cole on “Ramblin Rose” is one of his earliest memories of music. Next thing he knew it was James Darren, the Four Seasons, the Beau Brummels, the Kinks, the Beatles and so on. Country still grabs this surfer turned plainsman though. Decades on the road and working with various gospel, country and rock groups have shaped the songwriting of d. scott.
Hank, Patsy, Davis, Coltrane, Ventures, Parsons, Louvins, Bryants and Prine are deeply rooted in the musical soul of this Jack of all Strings. “So many cool instruments and sounds and so little time” is a quote worth note from this singer-songwriter and song stylist.
His songs come from places in the heart that most of don’t visit often. Shear sadness, shear joy, and a little bit of in between. Oh yeah, and subtle reminders that life can be fun.
