Born on a tobacco farm in the coal-mining center of London, Kentucky, Darrell Scott moved as a young child to East Gary, Indiana, a steel-mill town on Lake Michigan near Chicago. His father is a musician, and he grew up around music and creativity. By 16, he was playing roadhouses in Southern California. After some dues-paying years in Toronto and Boston, where he attended Tufts University, studying poetry and literature, Scott finally made the move south.
From his earliest days in Nashville, Scott the instrumentalist gravitated toward the best, with singers like John Cowan, pickers like Sam Bush, and songwriters like Guy Clark employing his utilitarian string-slinging skills.
"Playing with Sam or trying to sing with Cowan is a really cool thing to do," Scott says. “And if you’re going to play to support a song, can it get better than supporting a Guy Clark song?" Darrell co-produced two Guy Clark albums Cold Dog Soup and The Dark. Also, Darrell is currently an active member of Steve Earle’s Bluegrass Dukes.
With gigs paying the bills, Scott pursued his solo career, recording two projects (1997’s Aloha from Nashville and 1999’s Family Tree) and a duet album, Real Time, with bluegrass stalwart Tim O’Brien. That album included the Grammy-nominated instrumental, "The Second Mouse," and the Grammy-winning song, "Long Time Gone."
It wasn’t long before his songs started to jump off those albums and onto the charts. Scott became one of Nashville’s most decorated songwriters. He was named Songwriter of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters Association International in 2001 and ASCAP’s Songwriter of the Year in 2002.
Back in 2003, Scott launched Full Light Records, distributed by Ryko Distribution. His first move as owner was to make an album on his dad, Wayne Scott, and record This Weary Way, an old-school, mountain country album that was one of last year’s more pleasant surprises.
When putting his own records together, Scott calls on the cream of the crop. The recording roots of The Invisible Man go back to his powerful release, the critically acclaimed Theater of the Unheard – which won 2005 Album of the Year with the Independent Music Awards, and was listed as one of the 2003 Critics Top Albums by Rolling Stone Magazine. The bulk of The Invisible Man was recorded live in Scott’s home studio, utilizing his familiar core group of players, including the rhythm section of world-class bassist Danny Thompson (Richard Thompson, Rod Stewart) and legendary drummer Kenny Malone (JJ Cale, Johnny Cash). Helping to flesh out the new record’s more ambitious soundscapes are guitarist Richard Bennett (Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler), pedal steel & electric guitar wizard Dan Dugmore, John Cowan and Sam Bush from the New Grass Revival, keyboardist Gabe Dixon (Paul McCartney), and spoken word artist Minton Sparks. The Invisible Man was mixed by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss & John Prine.) More
