Jack Scott

Crying In My Beer Jack Scott

? JACK SCOTT was famously described by American Rock writer Dave Marsh in The Heart Of Rock & Soul as "Undeniably, the greatest Canadian Rock 'n' Roll singer of all time".

? Mean and moody, with an aura of brooding menace permeating his songs, Scott wrote and recorded some of the most atmospheric, compelling and memorable Rockabilly discs of the era.

? He was at the peak of his popularity in the late 50s and early 60s, during which he placed more than 20 records on the US charts.

? Jasmine's earlier Jack Scott compilation, Touch Me Baby, I Go Hog Wild (JASCD178), covered his early career, between 1957-60, ending just as his contract was transferred to Capitol Records.

? This compilation anthologises his Capitol output, comprising all twenty-four sides he recorded for the label, including hits like 'A Little Feeling (Called Love)', 'My Dream Come True' and 'Steps One And Two'.

? Much of this material is difficult to find elsewhere on CD, notably the six bonus tracks, which were not issued at the time.
