I stumbled across this CD in a listening station at Tower Records. After listening to 3 or 4 tracks, I had to buy it! What a crooner Drier is, and how diverse! His sound is by turns big band, to familiar pop tunes (a fantastic arrangement of the Beatles favorite, Yesterday), to a smart sprinkling of musical theater, even a couple of introspective alternative-type tunes. And he has the voice and range to accommodate all these genres. Hard to believe it's a first recording--the sound is crisp and completely professional, the music choices savvy and interesting. A very talented new personality has just come on to the music scene--let's hope we hear more from Scott Dreier!

Scott Dreier is that rare breed: a singer who nails it both musically AND dramatically. His vocals are perfect. And the arrangements on this CD are top drawer. Particularly impressive: "Lida Rose," "Put 'em in a Box." "Yesterday," and "Pieces of Dreams." I love listening to this passionately performed, thoughtfully arranged CD.

Music that takes you on an emotional journey is one of the greatest escapes in this hectic lifestyle we've all created for ourselves. Scott takes us on such a journey. From old standards to theatrical pieces, Scott shares love, dreams and hope in his choice of songs with beautiful arrangements. There's nothing better than hearing Scott sing except hearing him sing and seeing him act in a musical performance. He's the type of actor who can step into a role and make you forget he's Scott. He sings his heart out in "Suddenly Seymour" as does Katey Sagal, takes us back to Willy Wonka's factory where the chocolate river flows with "Pure Imagination" and brings on the dreams with "Hushaby Mountain" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I would love to hear "Pieces of Dreams" in a cabaret show; Scott shows just his voice and a piano can take you away on a hopeful journey of dreams.
And not only is this a disc filled with beautiful music, part of the proceeds are donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. How can anyone resist? A CD with heart, warmth and generosity. Singers (people) like this don't come along often. This is definitely one for the collections of those who love great music, great arrangements and a great voice.

This album is great, a wonderful collection of pop and big band songs. Scott's voice is unbelievably good and the selection of songs are fantastic. My favorites are She's In love with Me and Suddenly Seymour(a duet with Katey Sagal). Katey is great, I never knew she was a singer.

I may have purchased this CD late, but thank god I have it! I have not stopped playing it yet! Scott Dreier has a CD of songs that make me smile 24/7...or is it is voice??? OK, it's both! Unbelieveable range, powerful singing, yet the passion and excitement literally leaps off this CD to land in your soul! To find a CD that sounds this fresh, this exciting and amazing is a rare feat these days, but Scott's song selections hit the mark, his vocal ability is astounding and I cannot help but wonder if this is our best kept secret. Well, no secret...this CD is out there and it is delicious!

Thank you Scott for bringing so much happiness to the public. Your talent will take you far and I count myself among the lucky to own this remarkable CD! Bravo for a job well done....Absolute joy to listen to...and I listen to it every day!

Love, Mo

...that's how often I listen to this CD. It's absolutely fantastic & is one of those CD's that you can actually listen to from beginning to end...which is rare for me these days. Every song has a different, yet perfect sound. You won't regret buying this CD and listening to it for years to come.

I listened to a couple clips from this disc, liked them very much and added the CD to my shopping cart. And I'm certainly glad I did! From the selection of the material, to the arrangements to the impeccable vocals, it is a pure pleasure from beginning to end. Most highly recommended!
