SCOTS – North Carolina’s gift to country fans who like their music on the white-trashy side with lots of surf and rockabilly overtones – hits a zenith with this covers collection.
They jump in feet first with Don Gibson’s “Oh, Lonesome Me,” sounding like a Tennessee Three for the new millennium; in fact, it’s easy to imagine Dwight Yoakam (a big SCOTS fan, by the way) making the song his own.
Then they tear into “Muswell Hillbilly,” sounding like the Kinks on a bender with the Sir Douglas Quintet, thanks to the unusual inclusion of Vox organ. Their version of Joe South’s big hit for Lynn Anderson, “Rose Garden,” really rocks also. And the male-female harmonies and electric guitar break on T. Rex’s “Life’s a Gas” aren’t bad, either.
But what really grabs the old lapels are the Byrds’ “Have You Seen Her Face”; two John Fogerty songs: Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Tombstone Shadow” and the Golligwogs’ “Fight Fire”; John D. Loudermilk’s “Tobacco Road” (here given the CCR treatment); and the banjo-inflected bonus Who cover “Happy Jack."
