"...that soulful voice and the gift of playing any instrument in the room — exceedingly well — and you've got the makings of museum quality work every time the man takes the notion." — Rodney Crowell
Darrell Scott is one of Nashville's leading session musicians and has written a number of mainstream country hits. His songs capture the voice of working people, the people of the land. "My people came from Kentucky," he says, "poor tobacco farmers of the first half of the 20th Century and Harlan County coal miners for decades ahead of that. From silver-haired daddy to momma's hungry eyes, I was baptized in country music."
His songs have been recorded by over 70 artists including Garth Brooks, Sam Bush, Keb Mo,Guy Clark, Kathy Mattea, and Patty Loveless. He has collaborated with stars such as Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle and has won several awards for his songwriting. The Dixie Chicks' version of his song "Long Time Gone" was nominated for a Grammy in 2003. He won the 2007 Song of the Year award from the Americana Music Association for his song "Hank Williams' Ghost." In 2010, Brad Paisley's cover of Scott's song "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" was the closing song played on the TV drama Justified during the final scene of the final episode of the first season.
Darrell Scott has been honored twice by The Annual Independent Music Awards: in 2011 his album A Crooked Road won the award for the Country Album category, and in 2005 his CD Theatre Of The Unheard was named their Album of the Year.
