BluesArtStudio"It isn’t just due to the presence of the intriguingly different cover of Bob Dylan’s mid-sixties classic ‘She Belongs To Me’, but this largely solo album by Akron, Ohio singer/ guitarist M. Scott Horn recalls the heady days and strong conviction of the American folk and blues revival – though ‘Fake As The Blue’ is not a retro set as such. Scott is a strong vocalist, a little reminiscent of the aforementioned Mr. Zimmerman, and his guitar work is an impressive finger style, nowhere more so than on the cover of Blind Blake’s ‘West Coast Blues’ though Scott reveals himself to be an inventive musician throughout. His fellow home-towner Jim Ballard adds a few deft touches of support on keyboards and bass, and with three of his own originals holding their own against some illustrious cover versions (not mentioned are those from Guy Clark, Jackson C. Frank, Robert Johnson and Robert Pete Williams), the talented M. Scott Horn is certainly a name to watch." Norman Darwen, BluesArtStudio |
