A Crooked Road

A Crooked Road

Darrell Scott did not set out to record a double album; that is just what happened along the crooked road. The accomplished singer-songwriter penned each of the twenty-one songs on Crooked Road, his eighth solo album, and, adding to the very special nature of this release, Scott played all of the instruments heard on the record: guitar, mandolin, lap steel, keyboard, drums, bass, harp and cello. Widely respected throughout the songwriting community, Scott has worked with numerous world-renowned musicians, including Steve Earle, Joan Baez, Guy Clark and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Scott has also received two Grammy award nominations, including one for Best Country Song for his Dixie Chicks hit Long Time Gone. Additionally, as part of the Bluegrass Dukes, Scott performed on Steve Earle s Townes, which received a 2010 Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
