Single Review: Scott Matthews – Into the Firing Line/Is This Love? (Sam Remo)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 13 July 2009
This double A-side from the softly spoken folk singer songwriter Scott Matthews showcases two distinct but equally welcome performances. Sounding like a less constipated Tom Baxter, Matthews has a sweet, radio friendly voice, though ‘Into The Firing Line’ is stoked on a fire that sets light to a song of proper passion. The Bob Marley cover that completes this double A-side collection is a simple, back to basics number, that of course never touches the wonderful original, but offers a pleasant perspective on a work of genuine genius. A decent couple of tunes, showing a variation many of Matthews’ peers lack, and real signs of potential. TM
