Holt's Finest!, May 24, 2001
This review is from: Angels in Exile (Audio CD)
This is by far Holt's finest effort to date. 8 new originals and 4 really good covers of some lesser known material by the likes of JJ Cale and Bob Dylan. The cover of Lowell George's Spanish Moon is truly fantastic. The guitar playing on all tracks is excellent and the vocals strong. The tempo on the CD is mostly upbeat although it does have its quiet moments on a couple of the tracks.
A real surprise recording and one not to be missed.

Scott Holt's Transition, July 5, 2001
This review is from: Angels in Exile (Audio CD)
Scott Holt's new release "Angels in Exile" fully shows his growth from a side man for Buddy Guy to a well polished recording star. This CD displays Scott's tremendus skills from song writer to preformer. Scott Holt is no copy cat he puts his own style into each track along with his heart and soul.
