Bobby Scott - My Heart In My Hands '1967

Tracks list

This record is utterly superb. Scott, a songwriter and arranger by trade is a
better than average vocalist who has the rare ability (as does Frank Sinatra) to
translate well to rock fans.
One aspect of this record that rock and rollers will find appealing is the big
beefy sound which literally surrounds you in an aural sound scape. But most
important, Scott belts it out from deep within the soul and anyone who has ever
experienced a thrill listening to Paul Rodgers or Mick Jagger will appreciate
this. Simply put, like Sinatras September of My Years this is a classic that
should appeal to anyone.

This album demonstrates what can be done with the old “Male vocal”
format. Bobby Scott was an arranger, song-writer and solid musician that made a
series of vocal albums in the sixties and early seventies. The early ones were
big band swing with a lot of soul and his own arrangements backing him up. This
album is more reflective. Some of the songs, especially his version of “A
taste of Honey”, have that “3 am, nobody else around” feel.
He does a great version of the Hollies hit “He Aint Heavy Hes My
Brother” that he co-wrote as well as “Thats Where my Brother
Sleeps” a tribute to veterans of all ages. He even uses the dreaded voice
over interlude but it all works producing a seamless album from start to finish.
