Some years you just can’t get into the holiday spirit. Darrell Scott knows just how that feels, and he wrote a song about it that appeared on his 2010 album “A Crooked Road.” He uses his doubts about the Thanksgiving story to express doubts about his own. There’s not much chance of it turning up in a Hallmark holiday movie.
Scott is best known as a busy Nashville sideman and thoughtful songwriter, but he’s also an intensely emotional performer. He recorded this video at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville in 2010.
