Where I've Been by Scott Andrew and the Walkingbirds

In 2001, Scott's song "Brickyard Bend" was selected as a finalist in the Folk/Country category of the Unisong International Song Competition. Several years later, Scott's live performance won him a Best Live Performer nomination in the 2003 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, by far the largest independent music awards show.

Not bad for a guy who records songs in his bedroom.

PEOPLE SAY:

"This is very very good. If you enjoy a Guster-esque, Pete Yorn type of song, this is on!" -- 15MegsOfFame.com

"Great stuff, luminious, sweet intelligent folk without being self-important or slight. 'Gravel Road Requiem' reminds me of when I first heard Matt Nathanson nearly eight years ago who quickly became my favorite folkie ever." -- Kevin Smokler, author

"The hook of this song made me stop and think and really wonder how a song can be written so well." -- Eamon Dee on In Harm's Way @ Garageband.com

"I was hooked from the first note...A+" -- P.B. on In Harm's Way @ Garageband.com

"Somehow, it all manages to sound like acoustic Dishwalla or Better Than Ezra, tinged with Son Volt. Cast the Net Wide, sounding ever so Celtic, a gentle folky number turns partly rock via one of the few occurances of electric guitar. I think I'll take this one home with me." -- Joel Canfield, KnowYourMusic.com

"A real treat as far as mellow, acoustic folk house music goes. A relaxed style that somehow reminds me a little of David Gray. I give the album four stars." -- Chris Lea

"There's a stretch of Skagit county between Chuckanut Drive, I-5 and the Strait of Juan de Fuca that is flat. I was out, in what felt like the middle of nowhere, driving back to I-5 when Gravel Road Requiem came on. I reached down, bumped the volume up to 21 or 22, and shivered. It was as if a music video was being created before my eyes. I was so engrossed in the sights, sounds, and feel of everything that I missed my turn. When the song ended I realized that I was driving away from my destination. And I didn't care." -- Adam Gessaman, idly.org
