Isaac Scott - Sweet Home Chicago (1996)

Though Northwest Blues icon Isaac Scott was actually born in Vancouver, Washington, on June 11, 1945, his heart always remained in the Delta home of his parents upbringing. He even claimed Pine Bluff, Arkansas as the place of his birth on several album liner notes and in many interviews. His family had in fact moved from that locale in 1943, relocating to Portland, Oregon. Isaac Scott As a young child, Isaac was consumed by music. Learning from the Gospel singers and choirs of his church, he developed a deep love for the sound and feel. His parents noticed this interest in their son and enrolled the youngster in music lessons. Not only did he become an accomplished guitarist, he was also adept at the piano as well. At the age of 10, his mother took him to see a performance by the famed Blind Boys of Mississippi. Their joyful sound was something that would stick with him for the rest of his life. When the group later toured the West Coast in the early 1960s, their guitarist quit the band-mid-tour, and Isaac was given the opportunity to work alongside his long-time idols. Isaac shared his musical interests with his life-long friend, Portland Bluesman, Norman Sylvester. The two attended Jefferson High School together and were also members of the same church. They were consistently trying out new guitar-licks with one another as teenagers and remained close friends throughout the years, often sharing the stage with one another. Deeply impressed by the guitar work of Bluesmen ...
