When Mercury Records, back in the early 1990s, refused to release Michelle Shocked’s fourth album on the grounds of ‘stylistic inconsistency’, they paradoxically highlighted what’s become the central strength of a famously independent career.
From the folksy Texas Campfire Tapes through the big-band swagger of Captain Swing to her current gospel-based sound, Shocked has made the broad church of US roots music her home, and remains at her best in the live arena, as on her latest CD ToHeavenURide, recorded at the 2003 Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
Besides penning hits for the Dixie Chicks, Patty Loveless and Travis Tritt, the Kentucky-born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Darrell Scott has meanwhile pursued his own performing career on the rootsier side of the Americana fence.
Combining Appalachian-hued melodies with incisive lyrics, encompassing both poetic reflections on mortality and sharp social satire, Scott’s latest solo album The Invisible Man reveals an artist reaching fresh heights of creativity.
