MISC NOTES: "Steve Bailey, a harmonica player who has carved out his own respected career leading his own bands, worked as a member of Scott’s band, too. Recently he went through about 80 hours worth of performances that he recorded directly on the stage at shows from 1983 and 1984. Compiling these tracks, he selected what he felt were the best recordings from the dates that took place at The Fabulous Rainbow, Larry’s Greenfront, and at a private wedding, releasing them under the name Isaac Scott Live ’83-’84. Though the sound may not be perfect, it does capture the magnificent guitar playing that Scott so mightily displayed at every one of his shows. All you need to prove this case is to listen to the opening notes on BB King’s “Don’t Open The Door.” Scott nails it to perfection and his vocals are rich and spot on. It’s just a precursor for what comes along after. Among the songs offered aside from BB King are outstanding pieces written by the likes of Albert Collins (“Get Your Business Straight,” “Ego Trip”), Howlin’ Wolf (“Who’s been Talkin’”), Willie Dixon (“Built For Comfort”), Jimi Hendrix (“Red House”) and Tom McFarland (“Goin’ Back To Oakland”)."  [Text courtesy of the Cascade Blues Association]
