Scott McClintock

The bass is especially punchy in the mix, and highlights J Scott McClintock's frankly incredible style, having written highly melodic lines that also play wonderfully off the rhythm and extend the harmonics. Fans of McCartney's mid-sixties playing should find much to love here. ~ Simon Knight (Amazon,AUS) ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------On the second track, Summer Bonfire, James Christopher Monger sings about "Midwest sons and daughters" that are "drunk on the weekends" over a bass line that sounds like the one in Paperback Writer, had Paul McCartney drunk a lot more caffeine the morning he wrote it. ~ madison.com ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------At some point, I noticed McClintock toss aside his pick and start plucking the bass strings. He seemed to play it both ways rather effortlessly. This is rare. In fact, you don't see such a high level of musicianship very often in 'indie' bands. ~ Taste of Ann Arbor ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------Last night I went to the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor to see Great Lakes Myth Society and the Pop Project. Someone threw up all over my back. Scott the bass player was talking and I yelled I loved him. He asked for panties to prove it. I yelled "I'm not wearing any." ~ Desliexlesmond @ Livejournal.com ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- "The Salt Trucks" contains probably what is the most subtly elaborate bass playing performed by a Michigander, at least in the past ten years...I can't rememeber who the bass player from Grand Funk Railroad was, but Scott's better." ~ datawhat.blogspot.com
