Skye Boat songs

The back of the CD says "File under 'bluegrass'," and the cover photo shows Scott Anderson in a stereotypically rural Southern setting, picking his banjo beside a sluggish green river. But don't be fooled -- it's really not quite that simple. Though Anderson is a very accomplished bluegrass banjo player and he demonstrates those chops on several tracks, he also spends a considerable amount of time exploring less traditional terrain. Accompanied by such eminent acoustic-music figures as fiddler Aubrey Haynie, singer and guitarist Jim Hurst, banjo player Scott Vestal, and bassist Missy Raines, he plays in a style that varies from straight-ahead (on the Earl Scruggs standard "Nashville Blues") to complex and jazzy (his own composition "Tyler and Amanda") and a hybrid style that alternates melodic with Scruggs-style picking ("Ruby Falls"). His singing is also a consistent delight; while he turns the vocal chores over to others on several tracks, his own vocals offer some of the album's best moments. Highly recommended to all adventurous bluegrass fans. ~ Rick Anderson
"This is Bluegrass at it's finest. Solid driving Scruggs style banjo, smooth melodic lines and maybe some Bela jazz touches, Scott has covered the bases with traditional and contemporary sounding originals."Dennis Jones WNCW-FM Spindale N.C. Includes originals from Scott, Darren Wainright, and Gabe Valla and some other great tunes.Scott Vestal co-produced and engineered Rivers and makes an appearance on banjo and harmony vocals.

She got her start singing in the church at a very young age and has never forgotten her gospel roots. What I find very special about L.A.SHAUN is that every song she writes sounds different she has this amazing versatility that will wow any listeners ears as to where one would be in total disbelief. L.A.SHAUN has performed at various lounges throughout New York City a very spontaneous person you never know where you’ll see her next.
