Scott releases new disc
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 – Singer/songwriter Darrell Scott is back with his seventh solo disc, "Long Road Home." The disc was slated to be released in October, but was delayed. The 16 songs on the country disc were written as long as 30 years ago by Scott. Two songs (The Country Boy and You're Everything I Wanted Love To Be) were written at 16 with his late father Wayne Scott when they rented a cabin in Big Bear Lake, Cal. just to write. The disc contains a duet with Guy Clark (Out In The Parking Lot) and guest vocals from Rodney Crowell (Hopkinsville), Tim O'Brien and John Cowan (No Love In Arkansas and Too Close Too Comfort), and Patty Griffin (You'll Be With Me All The Way)

One of Darrell Scott's stated aims in making "A Crooked Road" was to play and sing all the music on it. He recorded most of the album himself at his home studio, playing each of the instruments and providing all of the vocals.
