UK artist, Dixon J Scott, nicknamed "THE VOICE" by many of his fans, has appeared along side American artists Katy Moffit, Tompall Glazer, Rosie Flores and also supported John Berry at "The Old Ropery" in the North East of England when John came over to test the ground. Dixon's new album "Forest Of Dreams" is a joint Anglo/American effort, that includes some very good, orginal material, written and co-written by himself and some of the finest British country writers & musicians.

The 12 track album kicks off with a song that saw top 10 action earlier this year in the EMS European charts. "He'll Never Hurt That Way Again" is a very touching song, that tells of the pain when someone dear passes away.Ppenned by Tom Botkin, Donnie Skaggs and Todd Collins, the song is perfect for Dixon's voice, which has a slight vibrato.

Dixon then goes into linedance mode for the very catchy, "Music to My Tears," a song that is sure to see the dancefloors full. I also think this track could do well if released on one of the radio compilations. Other songs sure to be picked up by the linedancers include "Whiskey Blues Again" with it's boom-chicka-boom rythm.......... that reminds me in places of Johnny Cash's "Luther Played The Boogie"......... and the rockin,' "Stone The Crows," both Colin Ford composition's, plus the very catchy, "Where Did You Learn To Love Like That," and the foot tappin', "Long Gone."

Fans of the Mavericks will probably pick up on the mid paced "Photographs" with it's latin beat, this is one of two songs co-penned by Dixon with Mike Shepherd (Crazy River Band) with the other being the title track "Forest Of Dreams." A mid paced tune, played with a fingerpicking rythm style, that is very reminiscent of the the Folk/Rock sound of the 60s.

All in all, this is a very good album from Dixon J Scott, an artist who, for the last two years has been very busy on the U.K. country music scene. For the future Dixon is looking to promote himself as Britain's leading country vocalist. He will find plenty of competition out there, as the U.K. scene can boast some very good singers, but one things for sure, this talented artist will certainly give the rest of the field a good run for their money.
