Press

A rumor in his own time, Don Scott has been quietly playing the blues for nearly four decades in various locales — Tucson, L.A., Paris, Mexico, Brittany and his native Minnesota, of course. He was a big part of the understated and underrated Dust Bowl Blues Band here in the Twin Cities before going solo and relocating to the Southwest, making the occasional CD of blues classics, original tunes and the odd swing jazz piece. Known as Scotty to friends, his latest effort, “Some Other Day,” is tasty and typical, with two Willie McTell songs and other choice covers (Memphis Slim’s “Mother Earth,” T-Bone Walker’s “Here in the Dark”), some irresistible instrumentals (“Blues on Cruise” “For Big Bill”), and a title track that’s a stark protest number about modern war and the treatment of veterans — a tough subject he knows well. It’s nice to have Scott back in our midst once again. Tom Surowicz, Minneapolis Star Tribune
