Scott Southworth embodies the resurgence of the traditional twang of country music. With his signature traditional rasp, he owns what it means to be country.
Scott Southworth’s Style
Akin to the old sounds of George Jones, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, and the rabbit hole of traditional country music, Southworth perfectly blends his roots with a perfect modern grit. He isn’t afraid to step out of the box and create something that resonates both because of its familiarity and its innovative charm.
He made waves with his “Hey Hillbilly Singer!” album. It received tremendous reviews from various music critics, thereby being one of the best representations of what real traditional country music sounds like. The album is solid all throughout, and as reviewer Duncan Warwick noted:
“It is difficult to pick out highlights from an album as strong and consistent as this……overall, this could be one of the best examples of how people ought to be making country albums all year.”
