"Scott is one of those so-talented-you-want-to-smack-him guys, as he’s among our town’s best singers, best songwriters and best instrumentalists."

Against a backdrop of the Highlands, Transatlantic Sessions 3 brings together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called “the greatest backporch shows ever”. I guess I'm a little bit country today. Love this voice, love this music. Reminds me of a wonderful book of poems by Diane Gillam Fisher, Kettle Bottom Explosion at Winco No 9by Diane Gillam Fisher, from "Kettle Bottom" Delsey Slayer knowed Tom Junior by his toes,

The title track off Darrell Scott's 1999 Sugar Hill Records release Family Tree. Chops, heart, depth, and a sense of humor besides.
This is another song from Scott's first solo endeavor, Aloha from Nashville. Here Scott tackles a characteristic subject: the bittersweetness of the music biz. The album's final track "Title of the Song" comes at the subject tongue firmly lodged in cheek - - "can't be more than 3 minutes long / end it all off with the title of the song" - - with the instrumentation a kind of rockabilly cliche, but still an infectious little ditty for all that.

Darrell Scott's music is equal parts talent and heart, soul and grace, power and poetry, charm and wit, funk and grit... all in service of the better parts of humanity. Darrell Scott is scary good. Listen and learn. I'm a huge fan."
