Darrell Scott is one of the luminaries of "Americana" and American folk music; he’s a multi-instrumentalist, an award-winning songwriter, and a powerful interpreter of songs of all stripes. Scott’s most recent recording project, "Ten," lies very close to his heart; it's ten songs by the late Montana doctor/singer-songwriter, Ben Bullington, with whom Scott struck up a close friendship in the last years of Bullington's life. Rodney Crowell writes of Bullington's music:
"In the same way Guy Clark's jeweler's vision captures the eloquent essence of Texas culture without being regional, Ben frames the stillness of Montana winters, the strength of her women and the spiritual bankruptcy of no-account politicians with disarming ease. Plus, the guy's a pretty damn good doctor for a songwriter."
