Recorded in a mere three days in Tony's home studio, Come Around has the intimate, intuitive, one-take atmosphere that only the closest-knit group of muscian/friends can achieve -- a precisely executed yet still spontaneous sound. Erstwhile drummer Kenny Wollesen, is supremely subtle and supportive, providing a superb backbone for Chris Brown's unfurling Hammond licks and the serpentine chimes of Tony's guitar. Tony's brother Peter rounds out the core group on string bass. Throw in the contributions of cellist Jane Scarpantoni (Tricky, Beastie Boys, REM) and Bill Frisell and you have a cast that can literally, legitimately be called world class. All of the extended concepts and techniques gleaned from Tony's work in the more adventurous corners of the NY music scene are here, but deployed in service of a stunningly fine-tuned pop sense. Scherr is able to capture that rarest of vibes -- music that references genres (country, rock, soul, blues, and jazz are all there) implicitly, and thus manages to sound utterly un-derivative. Tunes such as Stuck it Out; the Gram-worthy In My Hands; Sacramento, a lilting lullabye for avant-banjo; and the standout title track -- like Dinosaur in a dogfight with Tom Petty's Heartbreakers -- should be hits in any universe.

Press

Playboy: "Tony Scherr plays bass in Sex Mob, a jazz band. But his solo CD...is more like country than bebop. His guitar playing and laid-back singing are haunting, and his songwriting stads out."

Splendid: "...a record that could easily have gotten lost in the shuffle -- not flashy at all, but well-done, heartfelt and true. It's the kind of music we need in troubled times, and we are lucky to have it."[read more]

Entertainment Today: "...pushes the renowned supporting actor into a much-deserved spotlight." [read more]

Dusted Magazine: "...solid and undoubtedly well-performed. The players are strong, and they know when to lay back, then to step forward. Scherr's slide guitar on "In My Hands" is marvelous, and his vocals are as pure as a countrified tune like it needs." [read more]

Illinois Times: "Fantastic solo debut from this bassist for Norah Jones and the Lounge Lizards, easygoing and fragile in a smoky slow motion style that's reminiscent of a soft Beck buzzing over Tom Verlaine"
