Theatre Of The Unheard

Review "Darrell Scott is scary good. Listen and learn." -- Rodney Crowell "Darrell is clearly at the top of his game as a writer, instrumentalist, singer and producer." -- Nick Forester- E-Town "One of the great writers of our time. Listen to his songs and you can tell he's lived them." -- Dixie Chicks Product Description "'Theatre is the freakiest album I've made so far." -Darrell Scott. THEATRE OF THE UNHEARD is a wildly eclectic album that blends rock, folk, jazz and country into a distinctive, all-encompassing sound that embraces freedom rather than conformity. About the Artist In an age of conformity, Darrell Scott proves that a talented non-conformist can still succeed. A soulful iconoclast, Scott is a hit songwriter, an in-demand instrumentalist and an acclaimed performer and recording artist -- all achievements earned while burning his own path instead of playing by the accepted rules of the music industry Now he’s going his own way again. He’s launched Full Light Records for one reason: So he can fully own and control his recordings without anyone telling him how he should sound or what he should do. Scott’s long since proven that his songs deserve recognition. As a songwriter, he’s contributed a string of hits that reads like a list of the best modern country music has to offer. There’s "Long Time Gone" and "Heartbreak Town," both top hits for the Dixie Chicks. "Great Day to be Alive" helped Travis Tritt complete his comeback; "Born to Fly" was a No. 1 hit for Sara Evans, while "Family Tree" was successful for Darryl Worley and "When No One’s Around" extended Garth Brooks’ run. "You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive" was cut in the same year by both Patty Loveless and Brad Paisley. In all, Scott has had more than 70 cuts by other artists. His success led to ASCAP naming him Songwriter of the Year in 2002. The National Songwriters Association International awarding him its Songwriter of the Year honor the previous year. He’s recorded two previous solo albums, 1997’s Aloha from Nashville and 1999’s Family Tree, as well as a duo album, 2000’s Real Time, with acoustic music stalwart Tim O’Brien. All met with great critical acclaim and started building Scott a fervent following, including many fellow musicians. Stars like Garth Brooks and the Dixie Chicks -- who describe him as "one of the great writers of our time" -- aren’t his only champions. His albums have been heralded by artists as diverse as Maura O’Connell, Pat Green, John Cowan, Bill Miller and Jon Pousette-Dart, all of who recorded his songs. "I believe I’m entering the most prolific period of my life," he says. "I’ve got an abundant amount of energy when it comes to making music and writing songs. I want to take advantage of it while the energy is there. I’m not in a quandary about what I should do with my life. I know exactly what I should do."
