Chanteur
Country US né Carlton Ray Scott Jr., le 5 Décembre 1969 à Semora (Caroline du Nord).
Ray Scott est le fils du chanteur Rockabilly
Ray Scott.
In the 1970s, country music was hijacked by rebel artists who decided it
was time to do things their own way. "Damn the establishment" was the battle cry
for guys like Waylon Jennings and
Hank Williams, Jr.. For these
artists, music was more than a commodity, more than just good times (although
they certainly enjoyed plenty of the latter); it was heart and soul, it was
about coloring outside the lines and playing the game by your own rules. That
type of authenticity and passion lives on in the music of
Ray Scott. The son of a country singer,
Scott grew up in Northern Carolina with what folks there call "real" country
music. Listed alongside his influences — legendary singer/songwriters such as
Willie Nelson and
Kris Kristofferson — is Ray Sr.,
Scott's father. Ray Sr.'s music had a profound effect on his son: "I realize
more all the time that listening to his versions and comparing them to the
originals I heard on the radio taught me a lot about how to make a song your own,"
Scott says.
After slugging it out with his own band in North Carolina, Scott headed to
Atlanta and obtained an Associate's degree at the Music Business Institute. It
wasn't long before the singer made his way to Nashville — the promised land for
a young man with traditional country music burning in his soul. Time in the
trenches learning the craft of songwriting led to a deal with publisher Tom
Collins. Scott's first taste of music city success came as a songwriter after
Randy Travis ("Pray for the Fish,") and
Clay Walker ("A Few Questions")
recorded his songs. It wasn't long before Warner Brothers Nashville came calling.
In December 2005 the label released Scott's old-school debut, My Kind of
Music. For hardcore country music fans the album was a breath of fresh air.
Scott's rumbling baritone and bona fide outlaw style quickly won him a dedicated
following, even though three singles from My Kind of Music stiffed on the
charts. With Scott at the wheel, it looked like country music was in good hands
and heading back to a more traditionally based sound. Despite little support
from radio, My Kind of Music sold a respectable 100,000 copies. Scott set
to work on his sophomore album for Warner Brothers in 2007. Unfortunately,
country's love affair with pop music was far from over and, after recording a
number of songs for album number two, Scott and Warner Brothers parted ways. In
2008 Scott independently released Crazy Like Me, a raw and raucous collection of
meat and potatoes country music. In March 2009 the singer/songwriter headed back
into the studio to begin work on album number three.
