Coretta Scott
Rock and roll boys, to keep the memory of Coretta Scott alive!
According to Web site information, this group feels like they’re taking crazy pills. In addition, they are not afraid to show their crazily muscular bodies. Such fun!
Oh yes, the music. “Dressed To Kill” (Red Delicious 2007) is fair rock music. The drum work is crisp. The vocals are interesting, though a bit nasal. The guitar work fills and supports, as good guitar work seldom does in other bands. Too many musicians believe the distorted guitar is the most important thing to happen to rock music since……forever. Listen to Elliot Easton of The Cars. He knows how to do this.
“Cross My Fingers” from the same song collection has a solid, almost threatening pace. Good rock ballad. “Jenna” has a breathtaking pace and seems played in a frenzy. (Personal note: I know a couple of young rock fans named Jenna. They would like this band.)
Web information tells us that Josh Albright is the vocalist, Preston Thomason offers the guitar work, Ben Emery puts in bass and Mike McClung plays the authoritative drums. This group comes at us from Spokane, Washington, in the great northwest of these United States.
For something a bit earlier in the Coretta Scott evolution, try “Poison Apple” (Scream & Shout 2005 RISE).

Man did you ever hit the nail on the head when you said they sound a bit nasal, but you were also right about the crisp drums. Eh, they are just alright to me, but I do love the band name.
I like this band, the lyrics and sound isn’t particularly creative, but it’s nice and soulful. I actually like this band more than any others on May 2008.
Interesting vocals maybe, definitely not good vocals though. Its not only nasally, its like they wanted it to be. When will people learn… the only “different” voices that sound right or good or get far in their careers are the ones that are natural.
You can’t fake individualism. They need to lay off of the crazy pills a bit and put their shirts back on.
