The Bottom Line
Scott Lindsey's debut album, Set'em Up, Shoot em' Down, is diverse and a great opener album, but to get a real good feel for and insight to this artist and his music, you really need to go and see one of his live shows.
It will be interesting to watch Scott Lindsey as he digs his way out of the trenches of Music Row and onto the charts - this artist is seriously worth watching.

Guide Review - Scott Lindsey - Set'em Up, Shoot 'em Down
This musician is all about country and even hails from the great Bluegrass State of Kentucky.
Scott's not new to the Nashville Music Scene or Country Music and you may have even got a chance to see him opening for some big names like Chris Young and Jason Aldean. Scott's latest CD offers a respectable showing of tunes - coming it with a total of ten.
While it was hard to define Scott's signature sound, as the album is composed of numerous different styles and the production of the album was not really the strongest, by Nashville standards, his vocal abilities, thankfully, do come through loud and clear.
Scott has a natural raw talent that's still rough around the edges and we think he may even like it that way. Scott's voice has almost a sexiness quality about it (think Trace Atkins) and if you close your eyes you can almost see a sheepish boy grin.
While the albums breakout song You Only Call Me (When You’re Drunk) will hit right to the core of every true blooded country boy, my favorite song was Teardrops.
Teardrops is a classic smoky honky-tonk crying in your beer got the blues song that takes one right into the Honky-Tonks of Lower Broadway - you can almost see Ole Hank sitting there smiling on this one.
As we mentioned before, the album showcases a wide array of songs from ballads to the new country sound so you will find traditional songs reminiscent of Hank Williams to the newer sounds of Jason Aldean and everything in between, like Montgomery Gentry and Big & Rich.
Scott's talent, look, and style reminds me allot of the early days of when Billy Ray Cyrus and Tim McGraw first hit the streets of Nashville and we all know that story ended...
Scott's vocals capabilities absolutely stand out on this album, but then again, I think they would stand out anywhere there happens to be a guitar and a microphone.
