Album Description

ALLIGATOR LOVE CRY, the Landslide Records debut from the popular hybrid blues ensemble, Scrapomatic, presents a formidable array of fresh new material. Led by Derek Trucks Band lead singer Mike Mattison and award winning songwriter Paul Olsen, Scrapomatic arrives with a convincing array of raw, outspoken and emotional tracks. The band's second CD release demonstrates a solid foundation of potent blues, overlaid with a stunning mixture of jazz, sweet soul, highly charged vocals and a memorable taste of scat. Bolstered by a savvy group of accompanying artists, including sensational new EMI Manhattan artist Kristina Beaty, this album is headed for critical and word of mouth acclaim as the band hits the road for lengthy fall and winter tours.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Electic Blues.......2007-03-13

I love this album if you like dirty sounding blues this is the CD for you. Mike Mattison shows a side that you wouldn't hear in Derek Trucks Band, and Paul Olsen is a fantastic writer definetly pick this one up.

5 out of 5 stars If this ain't great, I don't know what is........2007-02-18

In my old age I find it difficult to get overenthousiastic about an album these days.
'Alligator love cry' being the exception.
The right mixture of jazz, blues, country and scat all done in a son-of-Waits voice.
A well deserved five stars.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent In Every Respect!.......2007-02-17

Alligator Love Cry is a terrific album which infuses new life into the blues, jazz, soul, and beyond. Great singing from the incomparable Mike Mattison and heartfelt, emotional songs throughout. A must for all, especially roots music devotees.

3 out of 5 stars Rootsy duo.......2007-02-08

Mike Mattison and Paul Olsen are the men behind Scrapomatic, a rootsy duo that takes inspiration from the blues, old-time swing and rough and ready singer songwriters like Frank Morey and Tom Waits. Much like those two gentlemen, Scrapomatic draws character studies and working class tales of love, work and play in its songs. Their music has a rustic feel with acoustic instruments and little brass and other instrumentation on occasion. The up tempo tracks are the one I believe work the best, because they put Mattison's gruff vocals to better use than the ballads like "The Other Side" which drains the scruffy energy out of the music. Stomping fast paced tracks like "Graveside Blues" and "Goddamn Job" make the best use of the duo's minimalistic setup making for a scrappy and endearing sound. This is a fairly good album and shows that the group has a lot of promise. If they can develop some more nuanced songwriting that avoids clinches and develop a sound unique from their influences, this group could make a real statement on the roots music scene.
