The new rendition of “Give It To Me Good” is electrifying and groovy, exhibiting a new sound that Mark calls "Power Country", a mix of hard rock and country music. Co-Produced by Mr. Scott’s musical ally Lou Piccadaci, the song’s sound production is sonically stellar and takes the listener on a musical journey from country six-string acoustic to a rockin’ powerhouse hoedown that won’t let you quit stomping your feet. Signature melodies can be heard behind Mark’s powerful lead vocal and pulverizing drumbeat to which millions have danced to around the world. Mr. Piccadaci defines his value not only as an engineer, but with his superior guitar performance throughout the track.
"For the past few years, I got away from rock ‘n roll and made a lot of music that touched my heart. But one thing is for sure, I miss rocking and nothing is better than playing music that truly drives you and an audience to throw your hands in the air and dance!"
"Give It To Me Good" releases Worldwide on Thursday, May 14th. CDs / Downloads are available through Apple iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Music, CD Baby and everywhere downloads are available. Personally Autographed CDs are available for purchase at www.MarkGusScott.com

If Mozart and Madonna had an illegitimate son, it would certainly be Mark Gus Scott.

This song is Mark's debut as a lead vocalist and listeners will not be ready for the soaring and soulful hook-filled melodies backed by enormous background harmonies.
