Review Text
There is something uniquely comfortable about Daryl Mosley. His easy Southern drawl and his impressive collection of songs about small town life, faith, and family seem to wear the way your favorite old blue jeans do. You keep reaching for them time and again. The combination of these exquisitely crafted songs along with his understated delivery and warm, gentle personality has worn well with music lovers for over three decades and continues to engage the listener in a way that few artists can. Music legends from Tom T Hall and Ronnie Milsap to Bill Gaither and Dave Loggins have praised both Mosley's singing prowess and his gifts as a songwriter. Mosley's songsmith abilities have led to him being twice honoured as Songwriter of the Year, seven #1 songs, and three Song of the Year awards. Other artists ranging from Lynn Anderson, Bobby Osborne, Les Butler, the Booth Brothers, and The Grascals are among the many who have recorded Daryl Mosley songs. Songwriting legend Jerry Salley says Mosley is "easily one of the finest songwriters in our business". In 2020, Mosley stepped more directly into the spotlight with the release of his first solo project for Pinecastle Records -The Secret of Life. It was a collection of eleven songs written or co-written by Mosley that were both plain-spoken and lyrically clever. The album travelled all the way to #1 on the Roots Music Report as did the first single, A Few Years Ago and the spiritual Do What The Good Book Says. Critically-acclaimed by both the media and industry peers, The Secret of Life was praised by American Songwriter, SiriusXM, Bluegrass Today, Country Music People, Bluegrass Unlimited, MusicRow, Country Standard Time, No Depression, and more.
