*****************REVIEWS***********************

"Alan's attractive songs are filled with interesting ideas and often soaring emotions; in song after song, the composer/lyricist develops self-contained personal dramas ... As on his debut album, Mr. Alan is well represented by his friends ... All of whom help to make "Keys" a worthy successor to "Dreaming Wide Awake," and one which serves to further enhance the notion that Mr. Alan is someone to keep our eyes, and ears, on."

-Steven Suskin, Playbill.com's 'On the Record'

  • Yet another...
    author: Carrie Myers

    ...outstanding album from an outstanding composer and highly talented musicians. This music is not just good, it has heart and meaning and it is a privilege to listen to (and sing...thank you, Mr. Alan, for publishing your sheet music). As always, looking forward to the next one.

  • Love at first listen?
    author: Morgan Allen

    I originally bought this cd because it is the only cd, as of now, that Natalie Weiss is on. I saw that Sutton Foster (my other love) was on there so I HAD to get it! LOVE IT! Every song is wonderfully written and the melodies are gorgeous! "Distance You Have Come" is truly inspirational and I spread it to anyone who will listen. Couldn't see this cd getting anything LESS than 5 stars! :D LOVE IT!

  • GREAT CD
    author: Lluis Domenech

    Keys is the first Scott CD I bougth, but it is sure that it will not be the last one.

    I bought this for my daughter and her review is as follows: Scott Alan has once again put together a great compilation of songs which are sung by great artists. His lyrics are touching, and there is a song for every occasion. If you liked Dreaming Wide Awake, you'll love this cd. And if you don't have Dreaming Wide Awake, you should get that one too!

  • Amazing CD!
    author: Alyssa Collier

    Scott Alan has proven his abilities at songwriting once again with "Keys." Some of my favorites include "And There it Is" by the amazing Lisa Brescia and "The Dress" by Randy Graff. I hope Mr. Alan will continue to impress his listeners for a long time to come!

  • Keys
    author: Eric Sertic

    I absolutely LOVE Dreaming wide awake, and was highly anticipating the day Scott Alan's newest album would arrive at my doorstep. And while all of the artists he got are phenomenal, and the songs he wrote are good there is just something missing on this album that was present in the last one. I have tried and tried to put my finger on what it is, and I think this album just lacks the heart that was so prevalent in the last one. That being said it still is a pretty good album.

  • Keys
    author: Emily Lord-Schlereth

    Fantastic album! I purchased the album because of the Kerry Ellis song, but I am so happy that my admiration of Ellis's voice has intruduced me to such a talented artist as Scott Alan! Excellent, and all the vocals on the album are also beautiful.

  • Fabulous CD!!!
    author: Stephen Jones

    I love everything Scott writes! He always get's the best artist to perform his songs also!! It's a must have!!

  • Amazing!!!
    author: Erin Millar

    I absolutely love this CD! Scott Alan NEVER disappoints, that's for sure. All the songs are incredibly meaningful and are sung by some amazing artists (personal favorites are Julia Murney, Natalie Weiss, Heidi Blickenstaff, Hadley Fraser, and many others). I highly, highly recommend this album.

  • Unbelieveable
    author: Lori ODonnell

    best album ever! I love 'blessing'! Julia Murney is the best singer in the entire world!

  • KEYS
    author: Lori ODonnell

    I bought this cd for my daughter Ana, she is absolutely in love with Scott Alan. Listens to Dreaming Wide Awake constantly, and bought Still Dreaming....the very day it was available. When I gave her KEYS she was so excited! Although, honestly neither of us thought it would go one-up from DREAMING... We were so wrong! She now has a New ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! with DREAMING...coming up close, very close behind. Also wish very much there was some way for you to tour with artists as you have at Birdland.

  • Amazing
    author: Emily Savidge

    This is even better than I could have imagined. Dreaming Wide Awake is hard to live up to but Keys is pretty much perfect. Favorites include And There It Is (Lisa Brescia is perfect for this song), West (it's about time she ended up on a Scott Alan CD), The Distance You Have Come (<3 Natalie and the New Voices choir) and This Time, which was my favorite of the 'new' songs. "Leapin' Lizards"... buy this CD. It's worth it.

    I'm leaving for Spain in two days and I got simply crazed when I say the CD was up for purchase :D Bought it. Downloaded the mp3s and I'm listening to it right now and my vacation is saved!! Currently stuck listening to Kerry Ellis <33 but Julia Murney and Megan Hilty are next ;) LATER :P I really like this CD! The songs kinda have a wintery, blue feeling about them. Love it! I really like 'Behind These Walls', 'West' and 'Blessing'... love 'em all :D
