Isaac Scott

Isaac Scott III (June 11, 1945 – November 16, 2001), was an American blues guitarist and singer. He recorded a studio album in 1982, and a couple of live affairs in his lifetime, and was strongly linked to Seattle, Washington with its own blues scene, having moved to the city in the early 1970s.

His influences included Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix. By contrast, seven of the nine tracks on Scott's 1982 album, Big Times Blues Man, were self-penned.

Biography Scott was born in Vancouver, Washington, United States, including touring the West Coast with the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi in the early 1970s. In 1979, Scott recorded live his debut album, The Isaac Scott Blues Band. Three years later, he released what turned out be his only studio-based album, Big Time Blues Man, also on Red Lightnin' Records.

Scott died on November 16, 2001, in Edmonds, Washington, from the complications of diabetes, at the age of 56.
