Darrell Scott is a talented musician who has written some popular country songs, so even though you may not know his name, you might know some of his songs. He has released his own albums, including Long Ride Home (2011), but you might know him best for songs covered by other artists.
“It’s a Great Day to Be Alive,” written by Darrell Scott and recorded by Travis Tritt. Here is Scott singing his version of the song.
Here is the cover by Tritt:
“Long Time Gone” and “Heartbreak Town” were written by Darrell Scott and recorded by the Dixie Chicks.
Here’s the Dixie Chicks singing “Long Time Gone.”
Those are some catchy country tunes. While I like the glossy covers, Scott does a nice job in the small live performances too. Scott continues to write and perform, and he has a new live album out with Tim O’Brien, We’re Usually A Lot Better Than This
