Wolverhampton wonderer Scott Matthews had
everyone raving about his recent single Elusive. The track can be found on the singer
songwriter’s debut album Passing Stranger, which was originally released
earlier this year, now with the backing of his major record label. If there is
any justice in the world, Matthews will a household name known for more than
just one song and Capt’n Blunty would be
raging with envy.
There’s
a feeling that the tag singer songwriter is not one that fits comfortably with
this fella. While the comparisons to Jeff Buckley are justified, it’s in the
guitar playing and blending of musical styles that he excels (in the seventeen
strong play list we have musical interludes).
