Scott Fagan’s debut album, ‘South Atlantic Blues,’ is a genuine lost
classic — a mystical,
mythical and deeply soulful masterpiece.
Recorded when Scott was just 21, virtually homeless and with pennies to his name, it was released in 1968 on Atco Records but remained obscure, confounded by a series of frustrating near-misses. From being mentored by Doc Po-mus to being discovered by Jasper Johns, Scott’s incredible story and music unfolds on ‘South Atlantic Blues,’ remastered and reissued for the first time ever on CD and vinyl on Saint Cecilia Knows in association with Scott Fagan’s own lil’fish records.
The CD comes with extensive liner notes, rare photos, and a download of five
bonus tracks
—the original 1965 demo for Doc Pomus as well as a recently discovered
acetate, the only copy in existence of a previously unknown Doc Pomus song, All
For The Sake Of Love,
that only Scott Fagan recorded.
