All Music Guide - Jesse Jarnow
Scrapomatic, the debut disc from guitarist/songwriter Paul Olsen and Derek Trucks Band vocalist Mike Mattison, contains a dozen tracks worth of lovely soul-blues pop.

Scrapomatic, the debut disc from guitarist/songwriter Paul Olsen and Derek Trucks Band vocalist Mike Mattison, contains a dozen tracks worth of lovely soul-blues pop. The disc starts extremely strongly with two excellent cuts -- a lively original titled "Moanin'" and a reading of Mississippi John Hurt's "Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me" -- that are augmented by an exhilarating cadre of New Orleans musicians. After that, the disc settles down a little -- just as well executed, though not quite as invigorating or original.

It is a new form of presentation, not wholly musical, that seems to exist entirely for its own sake.
