Album Review

Darryl Worley was born and raised in Tennessee. He has mentioned being influenced by country greats like Hank Williams, George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard. Hints of those influences show through in Worley's own music, but without taking over. Hard Rain Don't Last is his debut full-length offering. He co-wrote many of the tunes on this first album, including "When You Need My Love," "Feels Like Work," "If I Could Just Be Me," "A Good Day to Run," and "Too Many Pockets," as well as the impressive title track. A number of the tunes made their way onto the Top 20 charts. The songs on Hard Rain Don't Last move from slow and soft ballads to toe-tapping Western swing filled with the sound of the expected steel guitar and fiddle, and are all enjoyable. Though a lot of country music seems caught somewhere closer to pop or rock than country, this recording proves that traditional doesn't have to be outdated.

Undiscovered Gem

Hard Rain Don't Last, Darryl Worley's first album, showcases his songwriting skills and his ability to deliver a classic yet updated honky-tonk sound. He's at his best with the nicely-moving two-steps A Good Day To Run and Sideways, but introspective songs like The Way Things Are Goin' and Second Wind highlight his strength at using simple yet elegant language to create a mood and paint a picture, and Worley even flirts with a hint of Western Swing (Too Many Pockets). Because this mostly upbeat album predates Have You Forgotten? many may not have heard this fine effort from a unique New Traditionalist voice.

What a great Rookie album

Some county artists take several albums to mature but DW did it on his first try. Than he never slowed down. Very soulful voice and not a bad face to look at either. You get the whole package.
