Americana from Scot Free Sessions

Based in Edmonton, Canada, Scot Free Sessions is a collaborative music project led by musician and songwriter Scot Robinson. Linking up with producer and guitarist Bobby Cameron, the pair have written an astonishing 85 songs in Bobby’s Edmonton studio.

Their musicianship and songwriting pedigree has been confirmed time and time again over the years with the project being one of the few artists to be named a five-time finalist in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition. Having finished in the top three of the ‘lyrics only’ category three years running, they won the award last year while being judged by music icons such as Tom Waits, Coldplay and Hozier.

With a debut album aptly titled Edmonton Skyline set to drop this autumn, Scot Free Sessions brings us the first official taste of the project with the lead single from the upcoming LP, “Ford Motel”. Featuring integral collaborator Bobby Cameron on vocals and guitar, the track also sees multiple accomplished musicians add their touch to the recording.

James LeMenzo of John Fogerty and Ozzy Osbourne is on bass and Kenny Aronoff of John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan adds drums. Mixed by Chris Bell in Texas and mastered by Gavin Lurssen in California, “Ford Motel” has the glittering line up of talent to do justice to the wonderful composition.

Laying down a modern take on the Americana and country rock style, on “Ford Motel” Scot Free Sessions offer a summer driving anthem full of memorable and bright vocal leads, wrapped up with a dazzling arrangement of instrumentation to build further excitement for the forthcoming debut record.
