Hello From Hilary
 

Happy Valentine's and Mardi Gras weekend! You should know we love you! Spring seems to be just around the corner (at least in my hopeful heart) and we are about to hit the ground running. Below are some updates on what we've been up to, where we will be touring in the coming months, and some news tidbits. 2015 is going to be all about performing as much as possible to keep getting Freight Train Love out and about. A special note to my Indie Go Go supporters who are reading this: I'm chipping away at those perks! My handmade items are now nearly complete, and I've gotten a start on the original songs and covers. Thank you for your incredible patience, and once again for your support!

LA Music Examiner review of Freight Train Love by William Phoenix

 

William Phoenix has this to say:

 

"Despite a music career that began in Seattle more than a decade ago, Hilary Scott-(one "L")-is not a household name. If the award-winning. Indie-Americana singer-songwriter's new album, Freight Train Love, is any indication; this won't be the case for too much longer...Check out Hilary Scott's Freight Train Love. It sounds like she put a "Lotta Love" into it."

Hilary Scott excited to be considered for Minkins Music Best of 2014

Jay Minkin, writer for "No Depression" and Cleveland.com publishes his "Music Best of" each year.  Although she was not the winner, we are so proud to announce that Hilary Scott made Jay's list for consideration (a finalist) for his Female Artist of the Year award!

 

Jay writes:  "As in year's past, my list is more about quality than quantity with Hall of Fame musicians sharing the spotlight with some relatively unknown singer/songwriters whom more of my audiophile readers should be aware of." 

 

Jay notes this about Hilary Scott:  "The lovely Saint Louis songwriter Hilary Scott came into my sights with Freight Train Love and impressed this long time Cardinal fan."

Freight Train Love reviewed by Bob Everhart for Country Music News International

Bob Everhart has this to say:

 

"This very gifted beautiful and lovely country girl came all the way from St. Louis, Missouri, to LeMars in 2014 for some Rural Roots Music Commission honor and respect.  She's right back with another incredibly lovely CD, many of the songs her own originals... I once heard it took 15-million dollars to make Garth Brooks a star.  Not sure that's true, but I'm very glad Hilary Scott does not have that same kind of money.  I'm afraid it would ruin her very beautiful originality, that she expresses so well, with and without love in these songs...What a nice surprise for me to hear this lovely girl's voice, imagination, purpose, dedication, and 'music seeds' to close out my 'listening' time for today.  Thanks Hilary, get ready because this CD goes to the Rural Roots Music Commission too.  It's early in the season, but get set and ready to go.  Look out Alison Kraus, you have competition."
