Daryle Singletary - That's Why I Sing This Way
Daryle successfully attained a rather quick rise to top of the Country Music charts with some of his previous singles and instead of putting another album out there to contend with the crop of new artists, he simply tipped his hat to those that inspired him to be what he is today - and he did it well.
The only new song is "That's Why I Sing This Way," a song that perfectly sums up his childhood and how it came to pass that he wanted to grow up and be just like his idol - George Jones. Some of his idols, such as George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Paycheck join him on various songs from the past, and Rhonda Vincent harmonizes on all songs, and Dwight Yoakam gives a haunting Bakersfield sound to "Love's Gonna Live Here Again."
As nice as the tribute is, I am sure that all of the fans can only hope that Daryle releases an album that is full of new material because, I for one love his songs and I am glad I have this to listen to in the meantime.
