Described by American rock writer Dave Marsh as "undeniably the greatest Canadian rock 'n' roll singer of all time", Jack Scott possessed one of the most distinctive voices of the rock 'n' roll era. With his deep, brooding vocals and a style that blended rockabilly, country and rock 'n' roll, he created some of the most atmospheric and emotionally compelling recordings of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
At the height of his success, Jack Scott placed more than twenty records on the US charts, establishing himself as one of the era's most consistent hitmakers. This collection brings together all twenty-four sides he recorded for Capitol Records, including the hit singles A Little Feeling Called Love, My Dream Come True and Steps One and Two, alongside six bonus tracks that remained unreleased at the time.
Much of this material has long been difficult to find on CD, making Crying In My Beer 1961-1962 an essential collection for fans of Jack Scott and anyone wishing to explore the haunting recordings of an artist whose music remains among the most atmospheric of the rock 'n' roll era.
