Darrell Scott
Episode 260: Darrell Scott emerged in the late 1990s as one of Nashville\u2019s most complete folk/roots artists. He had the butter of James Taylor and the grease of Lowell George in his voice. He could pick numerous instruments like a practiced master. And his songs were stunning from the get go, including his widely-recorded \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Leave Harlan Alive\u201d and his crowd favorite \u201cGreat Day To Be Alive\u201d on his debut project. Now, Scott lives mostly on a farm two hours from Nashville tending the land and playing 60-80 dates a year. Recently he issued Old Cane Back Rocker, his first studio album since 2016 and his most bluegrass leaning project ever. I road tripped to Darrell\u2019s farm to record this week\u2019s atmospheric conversation.
