Writer of many of Garth Brooks's hits and sideman to Tim O'Brien and Guy Clark, Darrell Scott steps into the spotlight with this inviting collection. The twelve tracks are centered around the ups and downs, humor, happiness, and uncertainty of family life. Scott's warm tenor suits these engaging stories, whether embracing the exasperation and good-humored resignation of the folks awaiting news of an impending addition to the "Family Tree" or delicately reflecting on the strength of the heart in "She Sews the World with Love." If you forgot that Father's or Mother's Day gift or know someone starting a new family, this unsentimental yet warm-hearted collection of tunes is just the thing. Kerry Dexter

All Music Guide

Darrell Scott's second solo album, Family Tree, picks up where his debut Aloha from Nashville left off -- that is, it features more of Scott's great writing, singing and playing. The title track in particular captures the album's gritty, moving feel and creative blend of country, folk, bluegrass and jazz. Heather Phares
