5/5 INTERESTING PIECE OF TRIVIA ON 'YOU NEVER KNOW'
  by Mike Mcguire (Muscle Shoals, AL)
Here's an interesting piece of trivia for all of Darryl's fans that might also be fans of the country group SHENANDOAH.

The song 'You Never Know' was written about Shenandoah's bass player Ralph Ezell who had just died 4 days earlier. Shenandoah drummer, Mike McGuire is one of the writers of this song.

Ralph flew to South Dakota to play a gig at a casino with another band and died while there in his hotel room. Saddened after hearing the news, Mike and co-writers Billy Ryan and Jimmy Yeary wrote 'You Never Know' as a tribute to their fallen friend and brother. So when the song starts out with "He kissed his wife at gate number five, headed on another red-eye flight", that was the inspiration.

For anyone that has lost a loved one, whether it be a sister, a brother, a father or a mother, or even just a friend, this song will for sure pull at your heart strings. Hold your bic lighters up high!!

5/5 Sounds Like Life

What a great album. My favorite song is Slow Dancing With a Memory. If you enjoy Darryl Worley, you will love this album.


2/5 Not as good as expected

"Sound like life" is really the only good song on this CD. I was pretty dissapointed by the other tracks, the songs were not very good at all.

5/5 ~nice variety of music~
  by Joey Sciarra (Connecticut)
This CD contains a wide variety of good songs, and an even wider variety of musical genres. The first single, "Tequila on Ice", is a little bit similar to Kenny Chesney's Island style music -- but is done in Darryl Worley's unique style. Very relaxed, and a nice laid-back summer song. His current hit which is riding up the charts, "Sounds Like Life To Me", is classic Darryl Worley -- singing the type of music which he does the best. It's becoming a big hit single, and is just what he needs to get back in the spotlight.

"Messed Up In Memphis" is another awesome song, which is very different than anything on the radio right now. It reminds me a little bit of classic 70's music -- but again it's done in Darryl's own way. "You Never Know" is a very touching song which is definitely hit single material. It seems like a nice, powerful, radio friendly song...with well written lyrics.

I can't write a review about the album without mentioning the song "Don't Show Up (If You Can't Get Down)". Wow...what is there to say about a song like that? Where do I begin? You really have to listen to it to understand, but there are a slew of other artists featured in the song -- ranging from Mel Tillis all the way to Smashmouth. I wouldn't be surprised to see this single get a "vocal event of the year" nomination at one of the award shows! Overall, this album features a wide variety of very good music, and I would definitely recommend checking it out!!!

5/5 Absolutely worth adding to any collection

From the opening strains of "Honky Tonk Life" this is a good time cd with some fun stuff, some serious stuff and the laugh out loud good time of "Don't Show Up". There's the romantic laid back "Tequila On Ice", the perceptive "Slow Dancin' With a Memory" and the powerful closing song "You Never Know." From start to finish, good writing, good delivery and a celebration befitting the title - indeed it "Sounds Like Life." Whether kicking back in the evening or listening in the car - worth buying!
