Best Album of 2014 – The Times-Argus
The Best Album of 2014, Tammie Award – Brattleboro guitarist, singer, and musicologist Scott Ainslie released “The Last Shot Got Him,” an album created around a 1934 Gibson guitar. [He] has recorded an album that is simple…yet very effective. We hope the CD receives national attention with a Grammy nomination in the Acoustic Blues category.
