Spotlight On...Scoot Pittman

There's no denying that Scoot Pittman may be the one of the hardest working musicians in our area. And while he may play over 300 shows each year, that doesn't keep this trooper out of the recording studio.

One full listen to Lake Montonia Road , Scoot's latest release, and you realize pretty quickly that Scoot can do it all. He can write a mean folk song ("Grandpa's Shoes"), and can even play the blues ("Word on the Street"). He knows when to funk it up ("Fatback"), and you better believe this blue-eyed soulster knows when to serve up some of that Southern soul ("Lake Montonia Road") and gospel ("Laughin' at the Devil") from deep within.

Being the youngest of six, Scoot was raised on a steady diet of old 45's and vinyl records, in addition to the church music his "Mama" would play around the house. No matter what the music was he heard growing up, it seems to have soaked in.

There is no question that Scoot Pittman is a very talented guy. He has the ability to create the kind of music that forces you to either exercise your body and your mind. But more importantly, Scoot has the work ethic and drive to make it all happen.

The music he makes is timeless. You'd be hard-pressed to pin it down to any one time period. And yet while Scoot is able to create this timeless music, he is very capable of taking you on a journey in his lyrical time machine.

And if you love music, this is one journey that I highly recommend you take.

    author: Laurie Koster

    If you want to raise your spirits, call up that grits & cornbread soul, get your funky groove on, or have your heart touched, this is the perfect CD to serve all those needs. Scoot Pittman and the musicians and singers behind him have put out one of the best CDs I own, and I keep coming back to it. I dare you to listen to this CD and not be moved to boogie down, dance in your seat, clap your hands and sing out loud with the choir, or just listen and let your soul feel good. Scoot has a powerful, passionate voice, with warmth and homegrown goodness resonating throughout. I love Lake Montania Road!

  • Luv it!
    author: JG

    Growing up in a small town where family, food and music is what we lived for, I totally understand & feel where Scoot is coming from. "Fatback" makes me hungry, "Any Other Way" makes me move & "Sunshine On" takes me home...

    author: Dedie

    Lake Montonia Road is an awsome blend of musical genres. If you like interesting lyrics and great music, this is it! Scoot writes from his heart and you can feel it. The music is melodic, funky and sometimes haunting. My favorites are Grandpa's Shoes, Comin' Down and Sun Shine On. This is a CD you won't just listen to, you will feel it and relate to it. I highly recommend it. Go buy it now! What are you waiting for?

  • Awesome

    Great CD! I love the music! Scoot is a great musician and performer.

  • What is to be, Must Be...
    author: C. Hughes

    Did you expect anything less from George SCOOT Pittman Jr. He charms crowds agains w/ mountain melodies and coastal concoctions that make you feel guilty for missing a single show. Lk Montonia Rd takes you back to skipping rocks in fishing ponds and the childish freedoms we would love to remember but so often forget. Just as the spring brings the smell of sweet fruit, so are the sounds of our friend SCOOT.

  • Engaging lyrics with feel and rythms that get you going!
    author: Todd Greene

    Scoot Pittman get's it! From his lyrical homage to the past in Grandpa's shoes to the funky, get on up in the kitchen style of Fatback, make you want to listen and move. His vocals tell you he's lived it and the music will take you there. A great artist and CD!!

  • His best CD yet ( and I have them all). Variety of music from slow and story-te
    author: D Shytle

    This is his best CD yet. Most of his songs talk of his childhood on Lake Montonia Rd. and of his Mama's cooking and the food he grew up on, but also his church going Grandma shouting in her church. It's all very entertaining. I highly reccommend it.

  • I love this CD...
    author: Katelyn Norris

    Not only is this CD close to my heart about the emotions Scoot feels when he writes his lyrics, but it is extremely relatable to any audience. I listen to it over and over again, and beleive Scoot to be one of the best singer/songwriters our there today. Keep it up Scoot!

  • Great CD to own!
    author: Sandy B

    This is a great CD to add to any collection. I find myself singing along on many of the songs because they are so real to life. It's evident Scoot puts a lot of heart and emotion in his songwriting, and is an extremely talented performer. Can't wait to catch him live soon!

  • The genius of K.I.S.S....
    author: Bandtastic.com

    So, why are 3-chord songs like Knockin' on Heaven's Door so timeless? Because it looks past all the studio tricks, political jargon, new electronics tones, etc., and keeps it simple and down-to-earth which is the magic of these songs that never get old. Scoot's new CD demonstrates the genius of grass roots music writing that doesn't rely on phaser pedals and drum machines, but instead just delivers solid, old fashioned, well written & exceptionally performed music. There's also a cool bonus video on the CD that pretty much sums up the CD's meaning and soul, and gives you a vivid picture of Scoot's big heart for family & strong zest for life. Even the CD title shows his passion & dedication towards the little things. What has two thumbs and loves this CD? This guy!

  • I live off Lake Montonia Rd so yes it was interesting and I LOVE the music!
    author: D Gillis

    The music was creative and unique. The artist has a great voice and nice range of musical ability! I have followed GiGi & Eric for a while - and they are a great addition to the tunes! Great CD

  • This is real good music.
    author: Jerry Dean

    My Cd collection is vast. Most of them have 3 maybe 4 great songs on them. All of the songs on this disc are great. Great songwriting, vocals, musicianship. It's all there. I am a musician myself and was turned on to this guy by a friend. Recommend it highly! 5 Stars +++++

  • Songs so real and honest you can bite into them.
    author: K. T. Gregory

    This is a feel good CD. Simply put: real music, original music. Nothing is candy coated here. It's about life, family and having a good time. If I could categorize this cd it would be "home-grown funk". My personal fave is Any Other Way. If you like real music and you like funk then you gotta get this!
