In addition to four albums as Ledfoot, he has released several solo albums under his full name, played in The Havalinas, been covered by Bruce Springsteen.
‘Fuxsake, what a great ride this album is… …Somewhere John Lee Hooker is smiling and stampin’ his foot to ‘Runnin’ Till I’m Done’! Love the 12 string riffing so much – You just don’t hear that enough these days – Brings to mind Stevie Ray on killing it on acoustic. Ledfoot on the Goodfoot got some serious mojo’. – Winter Lazerus, mastering master This record was recorded and mixed in two days – live – straight to tape… no edits, no punching in…just me… honest for better or worse – honesty – What a precious thing ‘ – Ledfoot – In short: 10 tracks recorded analogue live to tape during two magic days at Studio Studio Nyhagen. No bullshit, just a unique artist spitting out his soul in the most naked and real setting possible. Gothic blues! Still, the sound, the lyrics and the performance are very much a product of today. Ledfoot aka Tim Scott McConnell is a 12-string guitarist who plays with fitted heavy strings, a brass slide, steel fingerpicks and a stompbox.
