Don Scribner, I Know The Devil (Ore Dock)
Hot on the heels of James Hand's stunning new album The Truth Will Set You Free comes another home run in the country crowd from someone who's seen his share of living and isn't afraid to show it. Scribner wears his heart on his sleeve, allowing the years of lost and found love to shine through loud and clear. He's got a character-filled voice that comes from believing in what you're doing and a backing band that knows exactly what each song needs. These days, it's not easy guessing what style is in or out of favor in Nashville, but artists like Scribner and Hand have a way of blasting right past those concerns, reaching a place where real country lives, played for those who could care less about skin and trends. This is a lonesome sound and whether it will make a dent on Music Row or not is beside the point. Don Scribner is the kind of singer that does this because he has to, not because he wants to, which is exactly why I Know The Devil is such a contender.

Don Scribner has turned out one of the finest country CD's of the year with I Know The Devil. It's a CD pack full of songs that inspire hope and cry out to be heard again and again. My favorite cuts are Life Past Forty, I Know The Devil, Let's Make It Right and Press Your Lips To Mine, but each of the 12 tracks on the album are worthy of airplay. If you want to hear country as it should be, don't miss this gem. Congratulations Don on a fitting entry to the country music scene.

I have just listened to your cd "I Know The Devil" and was instantly thinking of just how lucky we are that we have your music here in Melbourne Country. Alt Country has a very big audience and this cd will be eagerly listened to. You have brought a freshness back to the music that had seemed to be lost under big black hats and fancy stage shows sung by people who are as country as l am. You are a wonderful lyricist and singer. . The sheer essence of your music is what l always thought country music was and that is telling stories and tell stories you do. From one track to the next the interest grows as does the satisfaction and smile on the face with each and every song. I played the cd numerous times and sat wondering why we haven't heard about you and this incredible music of yours. Thankfully we will now remedy that… . Congratulations on a wonderful cd.

Hi Don. It's good to hear a Real Country Album for a change instead of the Nashville pop. An excellent album of well crafted self penned songs... I have been playing "Life Past Forty", "Big Fish", "I Know the Devil" and the lovely duet "The Magic's There" and no doubt I will be playing others as well. Is this a case of an actor who always wanted to sing and record an album, a singer writing songs through an actors eyes, or just an extension of your artistic talents, or all of the above.
