Darrell Scott

Acclaimed multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter and Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame nominee Darrell Scott releases Old Cane Back Rocker, the roots music icon’s first full-length studio album since 2016, created in conjunction with The Darrell Scott String Band. A former ASCAP and NSAI Songwriter of the Year, Scott has garnered many accolades, Nathaniel Riverhorse Nakadate writes, “Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest.” “SONGS + PLAYERS + BAND HOUSE + STUDIO + FOOD & DRINK = this album,” says the iconic Darrell Scott – “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive” and “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive,” as seen performed by Chris Stapleton and Patty Loveless at last year’s CMT Awards – of his brand new project titled Old Cane Back Rocker, a new showcase crafted by The Darrell Scott String Band that features originals and fully reformed covers. “I am fortunate to play with amazing musicians,” Scott says, “I always have had my ear to the six winds to assess players and their strengths and the music we would make — electric or acoustic, two or five people, country, folk, blues, string players, grass, rocking, quiet or loud, whatever. The category does not matter as it is just a category. There has always been a group of great musicians near to help me get there, and yes, I am lucky.” Darrell Scott String Band Photos: Gabriel Scott Cane Back Rocker Photo: Michael Weintrob
