Tennessean Daryl Mosley’s second release on the Pinecastle label, Small Town Dreamer, features twelve new radio-friendly bluegrass songs that the two-time Songwriter of the Year had a hand in composing. Tracks like “Transistor Radio” illustrate sweet, nostalgic hooks, “Hillbilly Dusty” and “The Waverly Train Disaster” are poignant ballads, and “He’s With Me” and “Mama’s Bible” are a spiritually-tinged gospel offerings. Mosley always sings with emotion and profound sensitivity to the subject matter, as comfortable with a slower-paced “You are the Reason” as he is with a medium-tempo’ed tribute to the working man “The Last of His Kind,” or snappy closer “Sing Me a Song About a Train.”

A former member of The New Tradition, Osborne Brothers, and The Farm Hands, Daryl Mosley is now pursuing a solo career. Playing bass and singing on the album, Mosley surrounds himself with many fine bluegrass instrumentalists including Danny Roberts, Aaron Daniels, Adam Haynes, Justin Moses, and Tony Wray. Jaelee Roberts and Jeanette Williams provide sweet harmony vocals. They help bring Daryl’s songs to life, as he seems to pursue his own apparent calling in life, to make sweet music that brings comfort, joy and happiness to others. Small Town Dreamer provides optimism, inspiration and encouragement to all the dreamers, rebels and mavericks who know that “sometime soon is their time to win.” (Joe Ross, Roots Music Report)
