Wow, never thought I’d hear 1960’s Tom Scott anywhere. It’s definitely the sound of the times. I thought you would listen to early/mid 70’s Scott. Never My Love was made famous by The Association and they had a big hit with it. I like the vibraphone lending some texture in Honeysuckle Breeze. I recognize the name Max Bennet. He is a very good session musician and I think he even played on a Frank Zappa album. More importantly, Carol Kaye on bass guitar. According to Wiki: Carol Kaye (née Smith, born March 24, 1935) is an American musician. She is one of the most prolific recorded bass guitarists in rock and pop music, playing on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 50 years. During the peak of her years of session work, she became part of a stable of Los Angeles-based musicians which went by a variety of informal names, but has since become known as "The Wrecking Crew". Her work with the collective led to her prominent role in the 2008 documentary film titled The Wrecking Crew. If there was a pop song in the 60’s or 70’s, The Wrecking Crew was involved and Carol was on bass. I first became familiar with Tom Scott through his early to mid 70’s albums, Great Scott, Tom Scott & The L.A. Express, Tom Cat, New York Connection and Blow It Out. He’s worked with everyone from The Blues Brothers to Joni Mitchell, Joe Cocker, Barbara Streisand, Aretha, Boz Scaggs, Carole King, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Ringo, George Harrison. The list goes on and on. Those albums I listed above are ones that I return to quite often because of the funk factor. Thanks for doing this and I hope you enjoy. ✌️
wow! that news on Carol Kaye is insane! yeah i figured i'd go all the way back on him. i'll keep those mentioned albums in mind when i get to them for sure.
Tom Scott is worth diving into. Am only aware of his 70s fusion stuff. Thanks for this surprise.
Tom Scott was only 19 when he recorded his debut album.
