Park Bench Theories
''Park Bench Theories'' is an album by Jamie Scott and the Town, released in 2007. Production Scott was backed by the band Travis, minus frontman Fran Healy. Critical reception AllMusic wrote that "the album's most powerful weapon is Scott himself, whose wondrous jazz-soul tones, part John Mayer, part Jeff Buckley, part Stevie Wonder, are able to elevate the occasionally bland and samey production into an engaging listen." ''The Guardian'' called the album "something of a supper-club ''Blood On The Tracks'', being a series of diary entries about Scott's ugly bust-up with his ex-missus." The ''Irish Independent'' wrote that "superb echoey piano keys, accompanied by haunting string arrangements, make 'Shadows' the album's standout track."

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
