Daryl Mosley’s fans – like his neighbors back home – were quick to lend a hand and a personal photo to help Daryl put together his latest music video, In A Country Town. Music lovers from locations across the U.S. to far flung Sydney, Australia (not exactly a country town Ed.) and Chatel, France submitted pics to Daryl’s Facebook page, and he chose 60-plus to include in this compelling video.
Some viewers might recognize award-winning singer/songwriter Irene Kelley in one image: she is shown in her hometown of LaTrobe, PA with a statue of the “ultimate neighbor,” Mr. Rogers.
The clip, which premieres today on The Country Note, scrolls through images that epitomize the country town dynamic: churches, rainbows, flags, silos, barns, town squares, meadows, monuments and Main Streets put plenty of sugar in this tea.
In A Country Town is from Daryl’s debut CD, The Secret of Life, which currently sits at #5 on the Roots Music Report Bluegrass Album chart and #6 on the Bluegrass Unlimited Album chart. The tune is a tribute to Mosley’s hometown of Waverly, Tennessee.
Waverly is my family’s home and always has been. It’s everything a small town should be, firmly rooted in the values and traditions of the past while still looking towards the future. I love this place and was proud to honor it with a song that’s a celebration of the simple things in life that make us who we are – Daryl Mosley.
I’m so glad that I was born and raised in a country town
My daddy’s people lived out all their days in a country town
Well people talked about us like the town that time forgot
Cause we ain’t got a traffic light and we don’t need a cop
But they just can’t see everything we’ve got in a country town
The toe-tapping song features IBMA award-winning vocalist Jeanette Williams on harmony and was co-produced by Grascals’ member Danny Roberts and Daryl Mosley.
