Live In NC [Live]

Acoustic Guitar, July 1, 2005
...astonishing vocal range, Scott goes from channeling Johnny Cash to bluesy to boisterous to high and lonesome...

Vintage Guitar, July 2005
...Rarely have I heard a commercial recording with as wide dynamics or as detailed or articulated soundstage...

out-freaking-standing.......2006-10-02

I was not a Darrell Scott fan until I picked up "theatre of the unheard" about a month ago. It is a pretty good album and I would recommend it to any one. However, "live in NC" is amazing. Musically and lyrically it is perfect I cant get enough of it, and have bought it as a gift for three people just so they can experience this incredibly great album. Once again I cannot give it enough praise. best live album I have ever heard!!

+1/2 -- Country-folk-blues power trio turns in stellar live performances.......2005-09-20

Though best known as a songwriter, having penned tunes recorded by Sara Evans ("Born to Fly"), The Dixie Chicks ("Longtime Gone"), Patty Loveless ("You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive") and many others, Scott's day job pays the bills for his own recordings and tours. On this live offering, captured at a pair of clubs in North Carolina (Ziggy's and Cat's Cradle), he teams with legendary drummer Kenny Malone and bassist Danny Thompson for a soulful country-blues jam.

The trio stretches out instrumentally on five originals, a pair of Johnny Cash covers, the traditional "Wayfaring Pilgrim," and Scott's father's "It's the Whiskey That Eases the Pain." The latter is played as a mournful blues, contrasting with the more strident country-folk version on the elder Scott's recent CD debut "This Weary Way." The younger Scott's "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" adds a progressive British folk edge to its mountain roots, and a slow, acoustic take of Cash's "I Still Miss Someone" resonates heartbreakingly with the song's longing and pain.

Two tracks stretch out to ten minutes, including a medley of Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and Townes Van Zandt's "White Freightliner Blues" that features fluid electric picking from Scott and tremendous rhythm drumming from Malone. Throughout the album the players show themselves to be uncommon masters of their instruments, with jazz-like interplay that marks the trio as something much more than a singer and backing band. Top-notch songs, players, and performances are captured in a finely-detailed live recording that will sound great on your stereo. 4-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

All the skill, none of the over-production.......2005-08-29

Darrell Scott has been around for years, writing songs (many of them charted) and playing with the like of Guy Clark. His skill with a range of instruments is phenomenal and his voice (control, range, and interpretive skills) is a match or better for anyone who has taken Scott's songs into the country charts. This album suffers from none of the overproduction that marred "Theatre of the Unheard," his last album. (Just my opinion of course.) It's a terrific recording of a live session in North Carolina, with backing from musicians as skilled as he is. These cuts allow Scott's playing and great voice and delivery to stand out the way they should. This is a fine album!
