 Darrell Scott takes his songwriter credentials as seriously as anyone in the game. When he released a covers album, Modern Hymns, in 2008, he worried that fans would think he had hit a patch of writer’s block. During both radio shows and stage appearances, Scott would insist that the covers project was not an indication of a dry spell in original material and that, in fact, he had plenty of his own songs stored up. He wasn’t lying. Those originals come pouring out on the new 20-song double-album, A Crooked Road, a project that strengthens an already formidable body of work from one of Nashville’s most respected song-doctors and session players. Scott wouldn’t appear to have much to prove; he’s already received a pile of Grammy nods and other songwriter awards, and heavy-hitters like the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, etc., have all earned Scott some serious royalty checks by releasing versions of his songs. But on A Crooked Road, Scott sounds like he’s set out to prove it all. For starters, Scott plays every instrument and provides every vocal heard on A Crooked Road. This feat isn’t particular surprising coming from a renowned multi-instrumentalist like Scott. The one-man-string-band thing happens now and then, most recently by Ricky Skaggs on last year’s Songs My Father Loved. But Scott goes much further by layering in not only exquisitely played guitars, banjos, and mandolins, but also dobros, cellos, pianos, organs, accordions, basses, drums, percussion of all sorts, and multiple vocal harmony tracks....full text |

| This twenty track, budget priced two disc set is a solo recording in the truest sense. Scott wrote every song, and played every instrument to boot. This Nashville native has been on more albums than you can count. That busy schedule doesn’t leave him a lot of time for his own projects and this is actually only his eighth solo album. His solo career is a case of quality over quantity if there ever was one. There’s a lot to enjoy here and we’re thrilled to keep coming back to it over and over. Full Light Records...full text |
