The album features Mosley’s current radio single, I Won’t Drink To That, a song written solely by Mosley that delivers an important message about knowing what matters most and letting go of the things that can hold us back. The song takes on the subject of overcoming alcoholism with a unique twist, all delivered through Mosley’s unmistakable laid-back style and warm Southern baritone. Firmly rooted in Bluegrass while also being serviced to Americana radio as a crossover single, I Won’t Drink To That is currently climbing the charts.
Little Moments also features the previously released She Knew It All, which has charted on Bluegrass Unlimited, and One Screen Movie House, a nostalgic look at the single-screen movie theaters that once served as gathering places in small towns across America.
Mosley is joined on Little Moments by an all-star lineup of musicians, including Danny Roberts on mandolin, Jamie Harper on fiddle, Justin Moses on Dobro, Jaelee Roberts on harmony vocals and Tony Wray on guitar, with Mosley providing lead vocals and bass throughout. The album opens with Corner Of Hopeless, a song inspired by a conversation Mosley had with a homeless veteran near his hometown of Waverly, Tennessee. The song premiered earlier this week with Vents Magazine. Other standout moments include The 1900s, an ode to an earlier and simpler time, and the album’s title track, Little Moments, co-written with Rick Lang. The latter showcases a more Americana-leaning side of Mosley with a nostalgic Country twist.
The project has already received praise from media, with critics highlighting Mosley’s songwriting and the album’s blend of traditional and modern sounds.

About Daryl Mosley:
Daryl Mosley
His ability to paint mental pictures has been compared to Raymond Carver, Flannery O’Connor, and even Norman Rockwell. His laid back, conversational singing style has been likened to Don Williams, Guy Clark, and John Denver. So, when the easy softness of this southern baritone delivers these lyrical short stories, it’s no wonder that both his peers and journalists alike call Daryl Mosley a songwriter’s songwriter.
Daryl writes and sings about life as he knows it: small towns, rural churches, salt-of-the-earth people, family, and faith. He leans heavily on songs about the victories and challenges of everyday people because these are his people. For over three decades, the combination of these exquisitely crafted songs along with his understated delivery and gentle personality has been engaging music lovers in a way that few artists can.
Mosley still resides in his hometown of Waverly, Tennessee – the small, Mayberryesque hamlet just west of Nashville where he grew up. The experiences of life, work, faith, and love that resonate so strongly in this community are the very foundation of his songwriting. And when he sings those songs, the characters and scenes come alive as if they were sitting on the front porch with you. Music legends from Tom T. Hall and Ronnie Milsap to Bill Gaither and Rodney Crowell have praised both Mosley’s singing prowess and his gifts as a songwriter.
Mosley’s songsmith abilities have led to him being honored four times as the industry’s Songwriter of the Year, twenty #1 songs, and three Song of the Year awards. Other artists who have recorded his songs include – Lynn Anderson, Bobby Osborne, High Road, the Booth Brothers, and The Grascals. Songwriting legend Jerry Salley says Mosley is “easily one of the finest songwriters in our business.”
Throughout the 1990s, Mosley toured as the lead vocalist with the much-celebrated Bluegrass group New Tradition. In 2001, he joined the legendary Osborne Brothers. In 2010, he formed the band The Farm Hands who quickly became one of the most awarded acts in Bluegrass. Yet, the common thread throughout his career has been the union of Mosley’s picturesque songs and his easy vocal delivery. This marriage has taken him to the pinnacle of musical stages and venues ranging from the Grand Ole Opry to the legendary Bluebird Cafe to even West Point Military Academy.
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 reached #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 Magazine, SiriusXM, Bluegrass Today, Country Music People, Bluegrass Unlimited, MusicRow, Country Standard Time, No Depression, and more.
The November 2021 release of Mosley’s Small Town Dreamer album featured a dozen original songs including three that reached the #1 spot on the charts; the nostalgic Transistor Radio, the heart tugging Mama’s Bible and the spiritual He’s With Me that hit #1 on Cashbox Magazine’s chart. The album was listed by journalist Donald Teplyske as one of the Best of 2021 in Country Standard Time Magazine.
In July of 2023, Daryl released his third solo album, A Life Well Lived. The acclaimed album reached the top of the album charts as well as garnering three #1 songs: Mayberry State of Mind (along with the hit music video), as well as gospel chart toppers The Bible In The Drawer and Big God.
In 2024, Mosley released his current album, Long Days & Short Stories. The project is his fourth for Pinecastle Records and features the #1 songs Me and Mr. Howard, When The Good Old Days Were New, and When I Can’t Reach Up.
Daryl Mosley remains a towering figure in roots music—crafting songs that feel both ancient and immediate, offering comfort and connection through his heartfelt stories and songs shaped by Southern tradition, Christian faith, and small‑town warmth.
