A roots balladeer with a rare personal warmth, Canada’s Scott Cook has managed to distil the stories collected over eleven years touring across Canada, the USA, Europe, Asia, Australia and elsewhere into straight-talking, keenly observant verse. Road-fly yoga quesnel, painfully honest, and deeply human, his tunes weave threads of folk, roots, blues, soul and country over spacious fingerstyle guitar and clawhammer banjo arrangements.

Scott Cook has distilled his travels down into songs powered by a sharp eye for imagery, a healthy dose of humanity, and that unforgettable voice, that at the same time intones the rigors of the road and the most comfortable couch you have ever slept on. As good a modern folkie as we have these days. A voice perfect for the genre. He sings his heart and soul, and in doing so lets light flood into your own A good eye for imagery, a gentle human touch, a wry sense of humour, a whole lot of integrity, a warm, rugged voice and a bunch of memorable lines Truly one of Woody Guthrie’s children. Scott Cook Bio «Onesheet»:  Acrobat . Release sheet for Further Down the Line: Acrobat . Alberta troubadour Scott Cook has been crisscrossing the globe for the past 10 years, sleeping in his van and making his living playing his earnest and sympathetic folk songs to appreciative audiences worldwide.

I knew as soon as I heard the album. He’s as good a modern folkie as we have these days. An understanding beyond the norm The album has a string of originals and co-written originals, every one an excellent example of the genre. Straight vocals in a sort of campfire setting, practically made for Cook’s voice.

Absolutely brilliant A forward-thinking role model for the upcoming generation This will be an album that will be eagerly awaited by old fans but will easily manage to draw in new fans too. As hard traveling a man as he is, Scott Cook doesn’t give into the usual world weary platitudes associated with the 21st century wandering singer-songwriter. One reviewer described him as a ‘child of Woody Guthrie’ and he is certainly committed to building a new world Cook has a variety of styles at his command and the CD repays multiple listenings The standard ‘Walk That Lonesome Valley’, with some new verses, shows Cook as a worthy successor to those who used song to ease suffering. Scott Cook should be proud that he is doing his part to keep that ribbon winding.
