This former Elvis impersonator, ski bum and songwriter from Michigan was encouraged to release many of his demo versions of his original songs as compilation albums, CDs and individual song downloads in online stores. As of 2008, four such releases have occured, one every two years since 2002. The idea is that in the process of having full-blown demos of these songs made by professional vocalists and studio session musicians in order to pitch them to established recording artists looking for new material, why not make these very interesting, songwriter's studio original versions available for comparison and public appreciation? Further, if the free samples of previously unreleased material from Scott's early days of songwriting in the 1990's are this good, you will want to buy his officially released albums online for the really good stuff. Or just maybe, you'll like the older stuff better. Check out scottcooley.com/Store for more info, or search for Scott Cooley titles at your favorite online music store.
