Legendary Nashville singer/songwriter Darrell Scott returns with his first solo album in four years. And on his latest, his emotionally vibrant vocals matched with tasty musicianship and sharp, witty lyricism, have lost none of their charm and impact. Along with Scott’s original songwriting he’s also included material by artists that influenced him, such as James Taylor, Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt and Johnny Cash. The 14 songs naturally cover a wide cross-section of personal themes, like the demise of relationships in “Time to Go Away” and the humorous and lighthearted “Loretta.” This is a master storyteller in his element.
