Scott’s Right Hand’s From Krypton!
“Scott isn’t pretending to be a black bluesman. But the way he tells the stories of the people who made those songs, lets him present those songs in the voices of the people who wrote them. And also, his right hand is from Krypton. Y’know? His left hand and voice are great, but they’re from Earth. His right hand is definitely from Krypton.”
