Darrell Scott - Long Ride Home [CD]

Darrell Scott's seventh studio album, 'Long Ride Home', is a long time coming, both for his devoted fans and for his extensive creative cache. "I was baptized in country music," says Darrell. Recorded in Scott's sun-drenched living room over several days of an early spring, the project is an intimate homage to the music Darrell remembers from his childhood and the father and mother who presided over that music baptism. Scott has, over the past decade-plus, assumed a rarified place in American music through a hard-to-come-by combination of talents and gifts. His literary but accessible songwriting has been the foundation of his reputation and his universally acclaimed albums, while also being a source of hits and cuts for others. His singing is uncommonly strong and nuanced. His chops on guitar and steel have earned him elite sideman gigs like Robert Plant's Band of Joy. With three Grammy nominations and an Americana Music Award to his credit, Darrell Scott has more than proven his stature as one of the finest all-around musicians in the world. 'Long Ride Home' is passionate, bluesy, neighborly and emotional. It's the sound of Darrell going home- an honest tune if there ever was one. ALL SONGS WRITTEN OR CO-WRITTEN BY DARRELL
