Daryl Mosley’s fourth solo album for Pinecastle Records, Long Days & Short Stories, is set for release on October 4. The 11-track offering, produced by Mosley and The Grascals’ Danny Roberts, is diverse and multi-layered, ranging from Bluegrass to Gospel, and from Americana to Country. Throughout the album, Daryl’s rich voice tells tales that remind us of the fragility of humanity while highlighting the possibilities before us. Dedicated to preserving and sharing the “small town” values that keep him grounded—faith, family, honesty, and humility—Mosley’s new collection serves as a touchstone for the Bluegrass/Americana genre. Long Days & Short Stories is available for pre-save now.
The album’s first single, “When The Good Old Days Were New,” is creating a buzz at radio, rising to the Top 5 on multiple charts and gaining regular rotation on SiriusXM. The soon-to-be-standard inspirational track “When I Can’t Reach Up” (featuring Gospel greats Jeff and Sheri Easter) offers a study in the power of lyrical astuteness and melodic restraint, while the engaging “Me And Mr. Howard” takes a different direction entirely, rambunctiously relating the true tale of Jesse James’ time in Mosley’s hometown of Waverly, Tennessee. Love and romance are the subjects of “Forever After All,” while faith prevails in the heartfelt Gospel masterpiece, “You Never Gave Up On Me.” Members of the award-winning Bluegrass group New Tradition guest star on the up-tempo, Oak Ridge Boys-esque Gospel singalong, “Still The Solid Rock,” while the emotional, empathy-laden bonus track “I’m Still Here” (Piano/Vocal version featuring Sarah Davison) closes the album.
