  • I Once Saw Darrell Scott Sit Down and Play a Song at Somebody’S Show at the Bluebird Café, and It Put Me Right on My Ass
    A Conversation with Darrell Scott by Frank Goodman (Puremusic 4/2002) I once saw Darrell Scott sit down and play a song at somebody’s show at the Bluebird Café, and it put me right on my ass. I thought I was seeing and hearing the ghost of Lowell George, for one thing. But he was even more than that. He sounded like all the things that are good about our country. You might think it’s corny, but he sounded like integrity. Sometimes in Nashville, that’s a quality that stands out, if you know what I mean. That was years ago, and I didn’t see him anymore, though I’d go out to hear music quite a bit. But I’d see his name on a lot of records, and I’d hear people talk about him in very special terms. People liked to talk about him, in the same way that they like to talk about Buddy Miller. The guy stood for something that made the people feel good about themselves and about the music here in Nashville. Every artistic field needs figures that reinforce the idea that what’s important is to be yourself, to find out who it is that you are and what it is you have to offer, and to do that. Not to write some stupid song for an artist you think is a wimp that might get on a beer commercial. There’s way too much of that around this town, knuckleheads with three writing appointments every day of the week that should be writing advertising.
