Darryl Worley - Sounds Like Life

Darryl Worley has had a nice career yet he's never broken through the way that former labelmate Toby Keith has.  Will "Sounds Like Life" be that breakthrough or will he continue to struggle to find an audience and his place?

The album’s first single and title track, “Sounds Like Life To Me”, walks us through a conversation where a friend is complaining to the narrator about all of the everyday challenges he’s facing. Worley throws the listener for a bit of a curve – in a good way – which the relaxing beach melody of “Tequila on Ice” delivers. It’s hardly about alcohol and more about finding that special someone; it seems like a song that would be more likely to appear in Kenny Chesney’s catalog than Worley’s. On the ballad “You Never Know”, Worley gets a little cliché, but tugs at the heartstrings nonetheless with an age old theme of loving your family and not holding grudges.

Worley has a little bit of fun with co-producers Jim “Moose” Brown and Kevin “Swine” Grantt on “Don’t Show Up (If You Can’t Get Down)." Jamey Johnson and country legends Mel Tillis and Bill Anderson lend their collective sense of humor and voices to the party song, which starts of with Worley and his producers lost looking for directions. In the end, “Sounds Like Life” is another solid collection of songs from the steady Darryl Worley.
