Why is Darrell Scott not extremely famous? I listen to his songs daily.

I find Darrell's guitar work way beyond accompaniment. It's almost like a duet with his voice and the voice of his guitar. I just love this guys guitar work.

This is still by far the best version of this song I can find. I live all versions but this one has an unmatched beauty to it.

This is one of the most perfectly complete songs I've ever heard .. the guitar work is off the charts ..

I saw Darrell Scott this past July. Front row, center. He played this one. I melted in my seat and all I could say was "Dang". I have never seen anyone squeeze so much sound out a guitar, not to mention a voice that defies gravity. When the concert was over he went to the product table and met people like an old fashion Baptist preacher. He talked to everyone who waited in line to see him. He was just the sweetest most humble man.

Darrell Scott - River Take Me - 134,208 views. Nicki Minaj - Anaconda - 399,739,259 views. Extremely disappointed.

saw him at the bluebird cafe in nashville years ago and he absolutely blew the roof off the place with just his guitar and voice. unbelievable superhuman talent.

Darrell Scott is a musical genius. Through his haunting yet inviting voice and beautiful guitar work, Scott weaves layered and emotional stories. He will take you on a journey that leaves you wanting more, or at least another listen. Some journeys are happier than others but they are always worth it. He accomplishes this (often) difficult task while respecting his audience, unlike so many artists today. It is crazy how talented this man is. I hope more people experience his masterful storytelling and musician prowess. Thank you, Mr. Scott. Thank you. I look forward to seeing you play in person, one day.

Dude where has Darrell Scott been my whole life I am just discovering him so glad of what I have come upon

I consider myself to be a pretty decent guitar player and singer, but holy hell this dude is so good. So glad I’ve found his music.

After near 30 years of playing, to date this is the only guy that inspires me to be a better musician!!

Just found Darrel Scott, he should be famous. Unbelievable talent; song writing, guitar, and vocals.

Shades of country, rock, funk and an extreme sense of awareness. Thanks for this, I know for me it couldnt of come at a better time.

the complete artist that has honed his craft to a level beyond words.A class act

This guy is fantastic! Good to see and hear great American music. Not the force feed bull shit we get from radio

feelin all the sadness a proud man can hold,

Three cheers for Music Fog - they magically bring out the very best musicians have to offer. Bless you!

Speaks to the soul

Mesmerizing ... just a transcendent performance of a great song!

Pure soul and songsmith, a troubadour is this man. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have discovered him. Hopefully I will be able to witness a live performance in my lifetime.

quite simply- the best. there isn't a better singer/song writer alive. I doubt there was one better in the last 50 years

Woke up this morning, feeling a little like this song !

GREAT TRACK, POWERFUL SOUND FROM THIS STEFAN SOBELL GUITAR

Excellent absolutely beautiful

Never get tired of this great tune!! Thanks!!!

This simply cannot be improved. Staggering.

Makes me think of my grandma. My friends weren't talented musicians.😂😂😂 God bless, Tyler. He makes my worst days better, AND any other of his ilk.

Beautiful! ❤❤

I must have been under a rock. How could I have missed this man? The depth in his songs haunt me in my sleep. Even more in the dead of night. I’ve been properly schooled. Wonderful songwriter seems too shallow for him.

Darrell Scott is the man- Love His Music !!!

Been working on learning this song for a few hours new. I'm only through the intro and first few verses. His sense of internal timing is incredible.

"Too many dreams for this one heart of mine."

This man is a magician!!!!

ive listened to this hundreds of times and even play it...but it always blows me away...darrel is the complete artist...powerful..a true blessing

Yes, DS is magical, yet grounded in story told, haunting, seductive melody, arrangement, execution. Thank you Darrell

Great guitarist!

Great playing, fantastic audio. That guitar has a great tone.

He is the man !

If I had a fraction of this man's talent, hey, I could go and win X Factor.

Very talented man. Seems like it would take a lot of energy to play and sing like that for an hour and a half.

Who the hell could possibly dislike this?

God I love him so damn much.

I absolutely LOVE the guitar in this song and Darrell, your voice is very cool and very humble. Rock on brother

more than magic--he shows me raw emotion

Truly amazing and wonderful. This man is so good. I love it:)

This song speaks to me deep inside my heart an soul! Beautiful song. I've always been an artist myself. I sing , write poems stories songs, take pictures, work with clay. I've always been a story teller an have had soul & wisdom beyond my years. I'm a cancer survivor an have been faced with death many times in 30 years of life. An i wouldn't go back in time to change a thing. Sometimes you were meant to fall on your face in order to rebuild yourself better than before. God is always there for you even if you don't acknowledge him. For many years I let my emotional an physical pain win but no more. I would be better than before. I made up my mind to learn how to play the guitar so I'm starting to look out for a lefty acoustic that I can afford. Then I will record an put up videos of my own songs that I've written. Thank you Darrell Scott for your music an inspiration. One of the first songs I'm going to learn on the guitar is this one.

"The river can drown you or it can wash you clean." .... What a wonderful acoustic performance from one of the finest songwriters of our generation!

Amazing. This is the real deal. It doesn't get better than this.

amazing guitar work and sound.He's a one man show.captivating

Just great! Love it!

EXCELLENT PLAYING

no words can explain how much this song means to me.

That was beautiful and genius. I just love Darrell Scott!

Great artist! Great song! Thanks for the posting!

... JUST DISCOVERED DARRELL AND AM SOOOOOOO INSPIRED !!!! WOW !!! .......... I'm going to have so much fun studying and swooning to this guys talent. Thank you God for showing me how incredible human beings can be.....

What a great player, song writer, what a guitar!!!

I can't get enough of this

One of the most talented people I have ever seen.

What a great musician and singer. Hope to see you in St Pete Fl.

Man doesn't get enough props

That's it, right there. Brilliance.

incredible stuff... incredible stuff...

real talk this song means so much tome as a hurricane victim gives me so much power

I revisit this video once every 3 months... Holy Shit this should have 500 million views not 500k.

This is great! Musically and lyrically great.

I have never had a crush like I have a crush on this man. He is something intangible. He is pure light and power. Never ever get enough of him.

Real talent that has me in aw writing, vocals, playing, Just incredible. If I could play like this I wouldn't care about anything but letting people hear it.

Best version of this song

I’ve been following Darryl for quite sometime now. He gave them attention through the transatlantic sessions he was on session 3 with them O’Brien and a bunch of other brilliant musicians from Scotland Ireland and Nashville. Since then I’ve seen him four times here in Montana I’ve recorded every concert.

He held me spellbound. I've been playing for just north of 50 years, convinced that I couldn't be surprised. Man, was I wrong. I remember having a similar experience about 40 years ago, when I heard Roy Clark do Malagueña for the first time. Not so much due to the technical aspects, which were astounding enough; moreover due to the flawlessness of the execution. This was more a combination of finessed guitar _and_ vocals but same difference. I was blind-sided then, just as I was blind-sided now. New subscriber. Whoa.

I saw him in Portland Ore. It was a great great show. He is such a talented man. One of the best singer, songwriter, guitarists of our time.

A man and his guitar !!! Anything added to this, wrather it be percussion, piano, string bass or whatever, would take from the full experience and purity of this !!! Master musician? YES! Master musician capable of touching the emotions of his listeners? ABSOLUTELY YES!!!

DAMN brotha

@unclebobunclebob - could not agree more. but i'm a little glad the radio hasn't gotten hold of him and rammed in down our throats 85 times a day....that's what makes him a hidden gem to me.

what an amazing singer-musician, great song

i just found mr darrell scott..i think i 'm staying for my whole life :D

Experience the Darrell Scott magic at a local outdoor concert a few weeks ago here in Overton County, Tennessee. Not many performers can hold an audience in the palm of his hands as the temperature dipped into the low 40's. Thanks too to Hippie Jack Stoddart, a champion of Americana music.

I grew up in Brown County, Ohio. This is gut-wrenchingly beautiful.

Respond to this video... I love his "You'll Never leave Harlen Alive" as well. This is a great find! This kind of reminds me of some of John Hyatt's work.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!

this is transcendent. see him live and you'll never forget it.

Wow awesome stuff I musta been under a rock

Freakin' Amazing musicality! Darrell Scott ROCKS, and rolls...

Amazing s

I’ve been following Darryl for quite sometime now. He gave them attention through the transatlantic sessions he was on session 3 with them O’Brien and a bunch of other brilliant musicians from Scotland Ireland and Nashville. Since then I’ve seen him four times here in Montana I’ve recorded every concert. There’s nobody can do what Darryl does. I’ve checked he’s in a league of his own.

Wonderful.

Unfreaking believable talent! This is exactly the way I'd want to play and sing. I sound like Elmer Fud

Wow next to his beautiful voice he is also an amazing guitar player! Keep up the good work Darrell

Clicked on this video with perfect timing. #PrayForLouisiana

great lyrics,great singer,great phrasing!

Fantastic!

In-freaking-CRED-ible. Excellent work, Darrell, keep it up.

Caught him live at art of music a few years back. Awesome performance.

Amazing!!!

this sweet tune sends shivers down my spine

BRAVO 👏 👏

i live around people who did not grow up this kind of music. i have always influenced this it is perfect.

Wow, this is the first time as an Australian that I have heard of Darrell Scott. I immediately ordered his 'Real Time' CD. can't wait! Bazzat48

Sweet soulful sounds, so good for my soul.
