Scott McClatchy / Press

“Rootstown (Belgium) reviews “Burn This”: Scott McClatchy was the largest surprise of the last few years. The expectations were thus very high when we heard that he a new cd on the way. The previous albums "Blue Moon Revisited" and "Redemption" were excellent and with his newest "Burn This" it is no different. This new lively cd goes further where "Redemption" stopped (2002), like the best work of Peter Case, John Hiatt, John Mellencamp and the later Springsteen. "Burn This" is sharp, after ten listens, I find that the music becomes better, and that the cd is in fact considerably addictive.”

“Miles of Music (WWW) reviews McClatchy's "Redemption": Scott McClatchy melds a rustic twanginess with a blue-collar sensibility. McClatchy displays a gift for dealing with weighty issues without being heavy-handed. He weaves a Byrdsian guitar line through the title track, a song in which he questions sin and redemption. "My Family's Land" and "Goodnight Bobby", meanwhile, are two moving story-songs chronicling hardscrabble, rural American life. ”

“Country Standard Time (USA) reviews “Blue Moon Revisited” McClatchy takes the classic roots rock forefather like CCR, The Rolling Stone and early Rod Stewart and couples them with the energy of a runaway steam engine. But it’s mainly McClatchy’s own style that makes the deepest impression. There is a definite rock and roll heart inside Scott McClatchy, but he tempers it with enough honky tonk to please both the country and the rock audiences.”
