Album Description
bDarrell Scott/b has already proved he can write great songs of universal appeal. More than 75 artists, including Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Guy Clark, have covered his compositions, riding several of them into the Top 5 country singles charts. He penned the b2007 Americana Song of the Year/b ("Hank Williams' Ghost"), and was named bSongwriter of the Year/b by ASCAP in 2002 and by the Nashville Songwriters Association International the previous year. bThe Dixie Chicks'/b version of his "Long Time Gone" was a b2003 Grammy finalist/b as "Country Song of the Year."P PHe's also a solo artist with six previous CDs, a multi-instrumentalist (guitars, Dobro, bouzouki, piano...), a first-call sessionman for everyone from Steve Earle to Joan Baez to Rascal Flatts, and a producer (Guy Clark, Susan Werner, his father, Wayne Scott, and his own CDs).P POn biModern Hymns/i/b, Scott's first CD for Appleseed Recordings, his mission is to showcase "songs and artists/songwriters whose music shook me as a kid (with ears nearly as big as my heart). They guided the way to my own path as a singer-songwriter . . . These songs speak to the human condition . . . in all of our aching and beautiful glory . . . These songs are the truth . . ."P PScott has the life experiences and musical chops to add his own imprint to the classics of the modern country and contemporary singer-songwriter movements that he covers here. His soulful, low-key tenor voice rings wise, honest and vulnerable on material as varied as Gordon Lightfoot's "All the Lovely Ladies," Bob Dylan's "I Don't Believe You," John Hartford's "Nobody Eats at Linebaugh's Anymore," and Leonard Cohen's "Joan of Arc" (featuring bMary Gauthier/b and bAlison Krauss/b on vocals). There's also a lovely, flowing, banjo-led take on Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays' "James," a near-instrumental in honor of James Taylor. The songs all share an undercurrent of melancholy and regret for emotional opportunities lost and times past, as well as stellar musical support by Scott, bluegrass great bDel McCoury/b (harmony vocal on Joni Mitchell's "Urge for Going"), "newgrass" and roots mainstays bSam Bush/b (fiddle), bTim O'Brien/b (mandolin, vocals on Paul Simon's "American Tune"), bDirk Powell/b (banjo, fiddle), and bStuart Duncan/b (fiddle),bthe Fisk Jubilee Singers/b, and revered British folk/jazz acoustic bassist bDanny Thompson/b, among many others.P

A Few Great Songs November 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This CD has a few amazing songs that I played over and over, but I wish that I could have happily played the CD straight through. A few songs made me cringe.
