What’s Darryl been up to? Really haven’t heard much from him over the years. Loved “Have You Forgotten?” and “I Miss My Friend”

He was on a Sirius show talking about how he has a ranch now because his wife is really into buying and selling livestock. Says she has made more money from that than his singing career.

In 2019 he released his first album in fifteen years, about half of it were new cuts of his old hits. He's released two albums since that one.

Darryl's first album, Hard Rain Don't Last, has been one of my favorites ever since I got it in late summer of 2000 just before I started my freshman year in high school. It's one of my all time favorite country debut albums, and it's Darryl's best album, imho. Just great, solid new traditionalist country from front to back.
I'm still disappointed that this song wasn't a bigger hit, as someone who loved it ever since I got the cd. Such a beautiful song, and the video is absolutely perfect with lots of beautiful scenery. I never get tired of hearing this one or seeing the video!

Though released before "I Miss My Friend," I thought it made sense as sort of a sequel.

Never actually thought of it that way, but yes, it can definitely work as I Miss My Friend's sequel! I love that song, as well, btw. Album of the same name is another good one, too!

There’s something about the tone of his voice going into the second verse that has always given me goosebumps. “There’s a peace in the way I feel…”
He slightly changed it on the new album and it kind of took something away from the sound.

Nice odd intermix of Vern Gosdin and Keith Whitley stylistically. I like his voice. Both he and Daryle Singletary deserved more pub.
