The Refugee Camp first introduced John Forte on The Fugees album THE SCORE. Anyone who heard him drop his verbal jewels on "Cowboys," the wild, wild west allegory of street life, got a little dosage of this lyricist's skills. Those who were thoroughly impressed by that debut as well as other tracks he's shined on will not be disappointed by his solo album POLY SCI. He gives you vintage John Forte on tracks like "They Got Me" (featuring Fat Joe), "Hot," "Poly Sci," and "We Got This" (featuring DMX). The production on a few tracks may be a little uneven, but overall this is a strong, well-done album.

Andrew Luttrell, Skip Noon, John WengerLuttrell, Noon & WengerSCORCHED SENTIMENTSJohn and I have been the best of friends for a long time. So much so, that we've never really let anyone get close enough to bridge our friendship. Until last summer. An acquaintance of mine named Mitch, who heard some of my music, told me that Andy was a good singer/songwriter and that I should look him up. So I did, and this album is the result of our collaboration over the last year. To say that John and I have both gotten close to Andy is an understatement. I feel like I've known him forever, and I believe John feels the same way. We had one introductory session in July of 2005 and never looked back. That's why the music works - we like each other's songs and the chemistry among us allows our creativity to flourish. Andy's musical influences are somewhat different from mine. His musical taste is wrapped around the grit and soul of Neil Young, Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, and his melodies and lyrics are representative of intense introspection. To watch him perform live is an experience not to be missed. His energy level seems to climb as the music progresses, and his relation to the audience intensifies as he delivers each of his songs with passion and verve. That same intensity is also present in the studio recordings heard here. John and I, on the other hand, embraced Paul Simon, Dan Fogelberg, Cat Stevens and James Taylor, opting for finger-picked ballads rather than hard-strummed songs. John has been my singing voice over the years; I was blessed with the gift of music but wasn't much of a singer. His smooth articulation and melodic singing style are a delight to those who have heard him sing. As a beginner on the guitar at the age of 12, I completely ignored artists like Dylan in favor of Peter, Paul & Mary and The Beatles. Only now, many years later, have I come to a full understanding of what those artists had ...
