Scott Cook has a way with words and melodies that inspires foot taps and head nods. Travelling—or ramblin', more precisely—is on Cook's mind throughout his new album, but the road is just one colour in a tapestry of life. This One's On the House finds the songwriter telling stories of the miles he's travelled and the people he's known, and it's a compelling epic—one that is fitting for a man who sees himself as a hobo wandering the world with eyes wide open. Cook taps into the same sort of spirit that so many ramblers in the past have, and he inspires just like the most famous hobos of yesteryear, his friendly demeanor and enthusiasm for life on the move catching, fueling a desire to pack a bag and head out looking for some of the things that Cook's seen in his travels.
