Scott Gagner - Rise & Shine [CD]

'Nothing short of a masterpiece, as affecting a collection of songs as you're likely to hear all year.' ~Pure Pop Radio Recorded live to 2' analog tape, Scott's second album features Ken Stringfellow (Posies, Big Star, R.E.M.) and John Vanderslice's backing band. This beautiful, melodic, and emotionally direct set of songs was born out of a mutual love of 1970's singer-songwriters and pre-WWII standards. Recommended for fans of Ron Sexsmith, Nick Lowe, Gillian Welch, and Harry Nilsson. It also contains a cover of The Ink Spots 1941 classic "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire."
