Darrell Scott Interview Audio Edit

“You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive”, “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive”, “Hank Williams’ Ghost”, “Born to Fly”, and on and on, such seminal pieces of Americana and Country Music History. We were fortunate on July 22, 2023, to sit down with such an extraordinary talent, Darrell Scott, who wrote them. . We talk about a lot of heavy hitters he’s worked with, plus his songwriting and his roadwork and session work with some of the biggest names in music, from Robert Plant to Sam Bush to Guy Clark, and many more. This was a fun and educational chat. Born in Laurel County, Kentucky, Darrell Scott is our latest interview subject in our Spotlight on Laurel, Her History, Her People series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
