E.C. Scott is one honest to God soul singer...
If you've ever had the opportunity to catch R&B singer E.C. Scott's act, you know that the woman can sing up a swarm of comparisons while eluding any one of them.
Scott's voice is elastic enough to stretch into a number of genres: R&B, classic Duke-era blues and gospel.
E.C. Scott sings with subtlety, control and power.
She can fill a room with her vocals but never comes across as bombastic. She is quite a singer. The Other Side of Me brings together a varied program of first-rate blues and soul performances that should hopefully lead her to receive popular recognition to go along with her talent and performances.
Living Blues noted that "E.C. Scott must be ranked among the best of the promising female blues singers in recent years." Hard Act to Follow duly followed in 1998. Scott received a nomination for a Blues Music Award in 1999 for 'Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year.
E.C. Scott further establishes herself as a gutsy vocalist, endowed with a voice that's supple, sinewy, and tough-potent enough to wrestle a roadhouse rocker into submission and tender enough to caress the hurt out of a lovelorn ballad.
