Amerikaneren Tim Scott har en lang og spennende karriere bak
seg. Hans største suksess var med bandet Havalinas som solgte over 500.000
plater på verdensbasis av sin debut (og eneste utgivelse). Denne ble utgitt av
Elektra i USA. Albumet var produsert av Don Gehman (R.E.M., John Mellencamp) og
er en av 90-tallets mest fantastiske utgivelser.
Havalinas ble en gedigen suksess også i Norge, og bandet, som foruten Tim besto
av bassisten Smutty Smith og trommeslager Chalo Quintana, turnerte Norge en
rekke ganger. Tim startet sin karriere i det legendariske
rockabillyrevivalbandet The Rockats. Tim Scott slo seg etter hvert ned i Norge
og han har utgitt to album i samarbeid med Waterfall Studios.
Når det gjelder Tim's evner som låtskriver er det ikke mangel på bevis for at
han holder mål. Han har ermet fullt av ess, og det ser ikke ut til å ta slutt
med det første. Det er ikke så mange låtskrivere rundt omkring i verden som kan
skilte med at Bruce Springsteen har spillt inn en av sine låter, men det kan
Tim. Låten det handler om er 'High Hopes'.
I tiden fremover vil Tim først og fremst gjøre
solo-ting. Et nytt album kommer i januar 2005
på Farmen, tittelen på albumet er
"13 songs" hvor Tim står for alt
det musikalske.

Tims' egne ord:
"OK - my solo career started way back in 1983, with the 5 track debut album "Swear".
In 1987 "The high lonesome sound" was released by Geffen Records. The album was
produced by Mitchell Froom, and a lot of great musicians was evolved. After the
Havalinas break-up I moved to Norway were I released two album's: "Decievers and
belivers" (1994) and "Everywhere I've been" (1996).
"Everywhere I've been" (1996)
This is the second record I did with Kai Robele we did it in about a week and a
half...I wrote all the songs in about the same amount of time...I'd play the
song for the other musicians, we'd talk through a basic arrangement and press
record kind of a real old school way of doing it...it is what it is. (Released
by Waterfall production)
"Decievers and belivers" (1994)
I did this about a year after The Havalinas broke up...Warner offered me a deal
so I went in and recorded songs randomly until there were enough for a
record...not a very organized way to record...it's all over the place...but than
again so was I at the time... (Released by: WEA)
"The high lonesome sound" (1987)
Mitchel Froom was producer on this record...he put together a pretty heavy duty
band ,
these guys had played on everything from The Doors to Elvis Costello to Elvis
Presley to Gram Parsons...it was my first real solo record...Geffen made three
videos for it...I guess they're floatin' around out there somewhere.... (Released
by; Geffen Records)
"Swear" (1983)
This was my young and confused record...I wrote the songs over a couple of weeks
on a little Casio keyboard...Sire heard it and offered me a deal...no use
apologizing for such a thing...my mistake... the good part of it was working
with Richard Gottehrer ...really took me under his wing...shame we were working
on the wrong kind of music... (Released by Sire Records)
Tim Scott passer inn der det er en scene og et lydhørt publikum.
