This has been a long time coming----an album of
original songs by Wayne Scott. Growing up on a tobacco farm in Crane's Nest,
Kentucky in the 30's and 40's, the 11th of 13 children, 4 themes fill his
stories- work, family, church and music-probably in that order. He tells of
a sacred tree that he would climb to escape whatever heat he was in at home,
or to reflect on the end of a long workday, or a place to question god and
love, or to sing for the first time on his own, away from the fields, the
house or porch family singing - alone in his sacred tree. That tree is where
he started a dream of being a country music artist.
He was and is a country music artist. He'd sing and write his songs in
the closet while working car factories in Detroit through the 50's. He'd
sing and write while working steel mills of Gary through the 60's or
installing chain link fences in Southern California through the 70's.
This recording may be the documenting of one of the most authentic
country artists you've never heard.
"This Weary Way" features Guy Clark, Tim O'Brien, Dirk Powell, Casey
Driessen, Dan Dugmore, Danny Thompson, Darrell Scott, and many others.
