Customer Reviews

a great talent
I bought this album purely on the strength of hearing the bloke at Glastonbury. Unforunately I didn't get to go to the festival but watched from the comfort of my own home.I was completely blown away by his sound. It reminds me of so many different artists; Neil Young, Gomez, Eddie Vedder(Pearl Jam), a little bit Led Zep. If you like mellow music to wind down to then I strongly recommend it

One of my fave CDs of 07
The first Scott Matthews song i heard was Passing Stranger and i really liked the unusual sound. He reminded me a bit of Jack Johnson but more soulful. So i decided to go for the CD and, hand on heart, it's one of the best CDs i bought last year. Every song is so different but each with his unique mellow sound, and it never seems to get old. There are some really beautiful tracks, like Elusive, Eyes Wider Than Before and Sweet Scented Figure; and some rather surprising ones - the first time we came across Bruno Finale/Maurice we were in stitches!

I honestly cannot compare this to anything, i just suggest you have a listen. Hope you love it as much as i do!

Very impressed
I had seen good reviews and bought the album.
On the first hearing, I was very impressed, always a good sign.
The voice is Gomez at times , the music is much more varied.
Well worth a punt.
