Darrell Scott - Modern Hymns

Darrell Scott has already proved he can write great songs of universal appeal. More than 75 artists, including Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Guy Clark, have covered his compositions, riding several of them into the Top 5 country singles charts.

On Modern Hymns, Scott's mission is to showcase 'songs and artists / songwriters whose music shook me as a kid. They guided the way to my own path as a singer-songwriter ... These songs speak to the human condition ... in all of our aching and beautiful glory ... These songs are the truth ...'

His soulful, low-key tenor voice rings wise, honest and vulnerable on material as varied as Gordon Lightfoot's All the Lovely Ladies, Bob Dylan's I Don't Believe You, John Hartford's Nobody Eats at Linebaugh's Anymore, and Leonard Cohen's Joan of Arc (featuring Mary Gauthier and Alison Krauss on vocals).
