Scarecrow Collection: radio frequency disaster

Some albums are well worth waiting for. Scarecrow Collection (SCC) released their second album radio frequency disaster in April, but due to some transatlantic snafus it took forever to reach the desk of Here comes the flood. OK, rant over. There is no stinker/filler track song among the 13 tracks. The album navigates with ease between genres with a few constants: great keyboards and proud vocals. They have been playing live a couple of hundred times and it shows: the songs sound tight but loose, which is lot easier said than done.

SCC made a record that many an aspiring jam band can only dream to pull off on day. No signs of the dreaded "second album" syndrome - radio frequency disaster is a 101 for what a rocking jam band outfit should stand for in 2007. Catch them live now, so that you can bore your kids with stories about how you saw SCC way back when they were still playing in intimate venues.

(Kudos to SCC manager AJ Keirans who kept making the trips to the post office in order to get the disc across the pond and Ace from Hidden Track who acted as an extra liaison)
