The clip, which premieres today on The Country Note, scrolls through images that epitomize the country town dynamic: churches, rainbows, flags, silos, barns, town squares, meadows, monuments and Main Streets put plenty of sugar in this tea. “In A Country Town” is from Daryl’s debut CD, THE SECRET OF LIFE, which currently sits at #5 on the Roots Music Report Bluegrass Album chart and #6 on the Bluegrass Unlimited Album chart. The tune is a tribute to Mosley’s hometown of Waverly, Tennessee.
“It’s my family’s home and always has been,” Daryl says of Waverly. “It’s everything a small town should be, firmly rooted in the values and traditions of the past while still looking towards the future. I love this place and was proud to honor it with a song that’s a celebration of the simple things in life that make us who we are.”
I’m so glad that I was born and raised in a country town
My daddy’s people lived out all their days in a country town
Well people talked about us like the town that time forgot
Cause we ain’t got a traffic light and we don’t need a cop
But they just can’t see everything we’ve got in a country town (D. Mosley)
The toe-tapping, banjo-bright mid-tempo features IBMA award-winning vocalist Jeanette Williams on harmony and was co-produced by Grascals’ member Danny Roberts and Mosley.
