Scott Klein reveals soulful rock album ‘Jesse’s Hotel’
Straight to the point, soulful and smooth throughout, ‘Jesse’s Hotel’ is an album that provides listeners with a dark vision into the mind of Scott Klein.
Hearing a different side to the songwriter, the album also cuts from scenes of lust to dreams of dark romanc.
Speaking about his songwriting, Scott shares, “My songs are about confessions and dark romance.
I reach for that British California sound but I have deep roots in the early ’70s so it sometimes comes out a bit Velvet Underground/Neil Young in New York.”
Discussing the new album, Scott Klein shares, “A lot of this album were songs I had written on the west coast, I feel that comes out a bit in the recordings, I pull from the 50s 60s and 70s and some from the punk era,
I can say anything really, but it comes out how it comes out, I think the things I listen to and read are really just a backing track but where the songs actually come from who knows, but they are honest experiences or dreams that had to come out.
What I shoot for is honesty. You can’t pin it down to one genre and it’s a good thing because the process is always evolving. The recording process grew naturally with the people involved and the things that lined up to make it what it is.
I just wanted to make some recordings and see what happened after that and now I’m on the other end, so looking back it’s just something that happened like anything that happens, but it all comes from writing the words down with your guitar.”
The next Jim Morrison? Scott Klein could well be.
