Rural Rhythm Christian is proud to announce the upcoming February 22, 2011 album release, TAKE ME LORD AND USE ME by award-winning vocalist and banjoist, Mike Scott.  This very special studio gathering includes the amazing talents of: Sonya Isaacs, Carl Jackson, Shelton Feazell, Vince Gill, Claire Lynch, Jesse McReynolds, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, and Buck White. 

One listen to the title track, “Take Me Lord and Use Me,” co-written by the husband and wife songwriting team, Mike and Brenda Scott, and listeners will immediately feel the outpouring of faith and passion Mike Scott has put into this album. 

Mike Scott has long been a part of the tradition of American acoustic music.  He has been on stage entertaining audiences since 1972 when he was only 10 years old and has since performed with Danny Davis & The Nashville Brass, led Mike Scott & The All-American Band, and helped define the tradition of Jim & Jesse and The Virginia Boys.  Since 2001, Mike has been a featured artist with frequent appearances on RFD’s Blue Highways TV show, Reno’s Old Time Music Festival (seen in over 25 million households) as part of Ronnie Reno & The Reno Tradition.
“Mike Scott’s exceptional playing and singing brought a fresh touch to the classic gospel tune, ‘Since I Laid My Burdens Down.’  The angelic harmony singing of Sonya Isaacs puts it over the top!”        -Les Butler, Host of the Front Porch Fellowship and Publisher of Singing News Magazine
