Darryl Worley had both musicians and moonshiners in his family. His traditional country music caught the attention of DreamWorks Nashville, which released his debut single in 2000. His album Hard Rain Don’t Last earned rave reviews for its hard country sound. The title track to his follow-up album, “I Miss My Friend,” climbed to No. 1 in 2002. Shortly thereafter, Worley visited American troops in Afghanistan and wrote a song about the experience titled “Have You Forgotten?” Capturing the anger and frustration of many Americans regarding the war, the song catapulted to No. 1, and Worley quickly released the album Have You Forgotten? in 2003. He has since become an outspoken advocate of the military and has toured numerous bases overseas. A third Dreamworks release, Darryl Worley, hit shelves in 2004. Here and Now appeared from 903 in 2006 and Sounds Like Life from Stroudavarious Records in 2009. Worley then moved to Tenacity Records in 2012 to release “You Still Got It.” In 2016, he delivered “Rainmaker.” Darryl Worley continues to tour the country and staunchly support the troops.
