Scott Matthews -  Passing Stranger

A  talented musician, who sounds like a cross bettween Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake. Great songs and faultlessly recorded. It sounds absolutely superb.

Wholeheartedly recommend. #

Re: A corker of an album

Sounds okay, although the Jeff Buckley comparison is a brave one. I understand what you're saying but on the highs he doesn't really go for it like Buckley.

Re: A corker of an album

True, he doesn't have the vocal range of Buckley, it's tonally that I find him similar.


Here's probably my favourite track from the album:


Dream Song


Here's another track, played live and acoustic


PASSING STRANGER

I wouldn't mind hearing the album, I'll scratch around and give it a whirl.
