Daryl Mosley, bluegrass, alt-country, Pinecastle Records, Syntax Creative - imageTwo-time Songwriter of the Year recipient Daryl Mosley is set to release Small Town Dreamer, November 5, 2021 on Pinecastle Records. The collection includes twelve new tracks, all spotlighting the Waverly, Tennessee native’s small town roots and humble upbringing. The record was co-produced by Mosley and The Grascals’ Danny Roberts. Pre-Save and Pre-Order now (or, click here to STREAM/BUY after 11/5/21).

The first taste of Small Town Dreamer came via the lead single, “Transistor Radio.” Written by Mosley and critically-acclaimed hitmaker Rick Lang, the recording pays homage to the good ole’ days and simpler times. The song gives a shout-out to the Grand Ole Opry, Elvis, Bill Monroe, Aretha Franklin, Motown and other music heroes. Rising bluegrass star Jaelee Roberts handles the harmony vocals. The companion music video was recently featured in The Country Note and Americana Highways and added to IndiMusic TV’s playlist. CMT.com began airing last week.

Mosley penned all twelve of the album’s tracks, co-writing three songs with Lang and one with Roberts. One of the disc’s standouts is “The Waverly Train Disaster,” which recalls a 1978 tank car explosion that killed 16 people and caused over $1.8 million in damage. “Here’s to the Dreamers” is the key inspiration for the album’s title, and its empowering lyrics offer an optimistic approach for tough times.

In addition to straight-forward forays into bluegrass and country (“Hillbilly Dust,” “The Way I Was Raised”), the project also features two well-crafted Gospel tunes in, “He’s With Me” and “Mama’s Bible.” The theme from start-to-finish centers around Daryl’s one-of-a-kind storytelling and his chameleon-like ability to segue gently through multiple genres.
