Steve Scott Country is Detroit’s premiere Americana sound. Their dynamic new release, Those Tears I’ve Cried, encompasses many of the sounds that make Detroit great: driving Blues, pounding Rock and soulful Country. Steve Scott recently stated in an interview that “Radio has inspired  [musically] everything I do in my life.” Steve unabashedly writes radio ready hits that cleverly interweave classic pop/rock arrangements and rhythm sections, with traditional Bluegrass instrumentation. A sound he and his band like to call Rustbelt Country. This sound is exemplified by popular tunes like: “Hide & Seek,” “Thoughts on Fire,” “Those Tears” and “Geronimo.” Track 1, “I Think About You,” is a lively straight-up Top-40 hit waiting to happen!

Those Tears I’ve Cried, the record, is put together the way classic albums always have been: great songs from beginning to end; tunes that are varied, vibrant and belong together – a masterwork where each track guides the listener on a journey that’s complete. Steve’s creative genius is melding different styles and epochs of music that produce a fresh take on today’s country. For example, “Lorra” has a unique ‘60s kick-ass groove that even Hendrix would dig.

On the other hand, “Halo” is a brilliantly simple down-home traditional porch-swing classic. “Tequilarama” is an uplifting fun-in-the-sun; toes-in-the-sand, cowboy fantasy. The track is a creative tour-de-force that merges a full Mariachi sound with a kickback country vibe that’s topped off with a captivating pop/rock arrangement – It’s simply an awesome track!
