Scott Cook: This One’s on the House

by Karina Amoroso - St. Gregory School, Calgary AB Mar 9, 2010

2 stars

Edmontonian doesn’t come out on top as hoped.

Born and raised in Edmonton, Scott Cook – a kindergarten teacher turned musician – places high on the folk charts. With songs that sound quite monotonous and melodies featuring banjos, accordions and harmonicas, this album isn’t exactly what you would call upbeat and fun. Although singer/songwriter Cook mentions some awesome places throughout Canada in his songs, the lyrics don’t make up for the lack of enthusiasm in This One’s on the House. For his second album, Scott collaborates with many of Edmonton’s best musicians, including Jesse Dee on guitar and Doug Organ on piano. So if you’re open-minded to a variety of music and want to hear some local Edmonton musicians, give This One’s on the House a listen.
