First time I saw him was at Davis Kidd bookstore (Nashville) where he was with Suzi Ragsdale and Verlon Thompson. Blown away. Immediately bought Aloha From Nashville. Great artist!
I have just discovered Darryl Scott, though it turns out I am familiar with his music. He was a guest artist of Zac Brown at Wrigley Field. Great moment to see him play Great Day to Be Alive in front of 40,000+. Nice to see him get the recognition as a great song writer.
Brandon Barquist same thing happened to me at Darien lake with zbb a few years ago, for me it was the song “there ain’t no easy way” and since then Iv been listening to Darrel and Tim O’Brien non stop with every album
Heard this song covered on "the voice" by one of the contestants. Had to look it up after hearing the song. Found this legend. This is a masterful performance. Blown away by the complete artistry of Darrell Scott, the performance in this video speaks for itself. Much respect!
Darrell Scott is so cool. My husband took me to see him at the Leeds center in Larry, Ks. It was delightful -- it was a very small room and he was right there like a college professor giving a lecture. (After the show, my husband took me to the Sonic out where I-70 starts. He had a chocolate malt and I had a diet limeade with a cherry -- Heaven.)
He's such a fantastic guitarist! Everyone focuses upon his songwriting ability, which makes sense, because he's an incredible lyricist, but we shouldn't forget the fact that this guy can flatpick like Doc Watson and hit country-blues riffs like Lightnin' Hopkins!
They sound tired, but they dont sound Haggard They got money, but they dont have Cash They've got Jr.' but they dont have Hank.. I think The rest is a long time gone
Watching this video is like sitting in on a guitar lesson. WOW! This was the first song that brought me to the Chicks. Their last two albums were phenomenal! Too bad the Teapublicans took them down!
Thanks for the response, since I wrote that question, I found out that it is a Taylor, Koa that isnt produced anymore. Though I have found a Takamine Koa with electronics that is new out and I am currently looking at.
True. But my point was, it was not the 'fans' that were complaining. It was various national organizations, stoking the flames. Clear Channel and the other big ones told the stations not to play them anymore. Maybe at the request of the White House? And they kept the phone banks busy, with callers pretending to be locals. Yes, the once-fans were upset. But where did this hatred come from? Would it have been so incendiary if it hadn't been organized from above? (I'm done replying on this topic)
For whatever reason, they were gunned down. By the religious right, by Clear Channel, by once-fans that felt betrayed because they had left country behind... Those calls local stations were flooded with mostly weren't local. They were from a few national organizations, out to get them. The episode was blown so far out of proportion. I'm just glad they renegotiated their contract with Sony for their final two albums, so they could live comfortably.
Facts! Dixie chicks named their band from the song by little feat.this song was a cover that dixie chicks did one one of their albums.this guy wrote this song along with tim obrien. Just saying !
What MLIN20 said - you couldn't get Merle Haggard played on country radio nowadays except with a bag o money or a gun. (Hey, there's a song in there somewhere)
most of there fans were right leaning and did not like them bad mouthing America when they were overseas. They had the right to say what they wanted and the fans had the right to walk away
My guess they're not fans of the Dixie Chicks (politics)... I'm not a fan of their politics either (their music is a different story), but the man has to get paid!
