Country that’s both Nashville-friendly and soulful.

  • We Say...

    If there were more Daryle Singletary's on the airwaves these days, country radio would be a lot more palatable. His music has shades of a suburban, high-production Music City sheen, but at the same time the guy's got an easy-to-like twang and his arrangements are rooted in old-school honky tonk. His music shares neo-trad sensibility with the likes of Brad Paisley and Alan Jackson (or, if you want to step back a few decades, John Conlee and Gene Watson), but whether he's rocking down the road ("Too Much Fun") or working a tender ballad, this collection (a best-of CD reprising some of his '90s hits) shows that country can be Nashville-friendly and still have soul.

  • They Say...

    In Nashville, where an artist is often only as good as their last hit song, the concept of greatest hits tends to be a jaded one, especially when they come out too early in an artists career. Daryle Singletary is a solid artist, with three studio albums to his credit and hit singles that include "You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet" and the country radio staple "Too Much Fun." However, Singletary is by no means a household name and would be better off focusing on new material rather that touting his few hit singles. Still the compilation bodes well, although not differing from most artists who walk the line between neo-traditionalist and suburban pop country.
