Scott, Jack
Way To Survive
Jack Scott first appeared in the rock 'n' roll scene in the late 1950's and he immediately demonstrated a highly individual and powerful style. His first recordings with a snarling rockabilly attitude in 1957 exhibited a profound country rock synthesis and soon after he hit the charts with the tremendous ballad "My True Love", which became his first million-seller. Jack Scott's principal success came with strong ballads like "What In The World's Come Over You" and "Burning Bridges" which were massive hits on both sides of the Atlantic in 1960. It was his ballads that marked Jack Scott's unique contribution to rock 'n' roll. They were the slowest, heaviest and gutsiest of the era. "Way to Survive", which unfortunately turned out to be his last recording, was the first new studio album by Jack Scott in over fifty years. A generation had changed since his "Burning Bridges" LP on Capitol Records in 1964 and since then Jack Scott became a genuine legend and a myth of his own musical genre.
