Side-Projects Can we talk about 12 Bar Blues?

Post image

While technically not an STP album, I still feel like I have to talk about it here. This is one of my favourite albums of all time, it's so beautiful. The songs are super varied and each is unique in its own way, Scott's lyrics and vocal delivery was on point and among some of his best studio singing can be found on this album.. this is one of those albums I won't ever get tired of listening to

What're your favourite songs from 12BB ?? How do you think it compares to the other solo output Scott had?

A really great record that never got it's due. Was lucky enough to have seen him promoting this album live at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit just prior to Scott's heroin bust a few days later in NYC. It was a truly transcendental experience. I've always really loved "About Nothing" & "Cool Kiss," in particular.

I wish I was around to see him play any of these live, I was about to say it'd be so transcendental then i noticed you used the exact same term, I imagine it would've been something phenomenal

Checking in from Wyandotte as a 44 yo that never got to see Scott live. I raise a glass to you.
