The award-winning bluegrass singer/songwriter Daryl Mosley will be releasing his new album “Long Days & Short Stories” on 4th October 2024. Produced by Mosley and The Grascals’ Danny Roberts, “Long Days & Short Stories” features 11 tracks that span bluegrass, gospel, americana, and country. Mosley’s voice and lyrical depth are at the heart of the album, which highlights the values of faith, family, honesty, and humility that have shaped his life and career. Listeners can expect a diverse array of songs, from the reflective and inspirational ‘When I Can’t Reach Up’, featuring gospel greats Jeff and Sheri Easter, to the high-energy gospel singalong ‘Still The Solid Rock’, featuring New Tradition. Other tracks include the ballad ‘You Never Gave Up On Me’, the romantic ‘Forever After All’ and the thought-provoking ‘When The Good Old Days Were New’. All songs were written by Mosley except ‘When I Can’t Reach Up’ which was co-written with Rick Lang.

The album can be pre-saved /purchased here.

Mosley has just released his latest single, ‘Me and Mr. Howard’. The lively bluegrass tune tells the story of the notorious outlaw Jesse James and his wife, Zee, who settled in Mosley’s hometown of Waverly, Tennessee, under the alias Mr JD Howard.  Written solely by Mosley, ‘Me and Mr. Howard’ is told from the perspective of a local store owner who befriended James, adding a personal touch to the historical tale. The track highlights Mosley’s storytelling abilities, blending history with his small-town upbringing, delivered with an upbeat and engaging bluegrass melody. You can listen to it below.

Mosley has enjoyed more than three decades of success as a songwriter and vocalist. He toured throughout the ‘90s as lead vocalist/bassist with the bluegrass group The New Tradition. In 2001 he joined the Osborne Brothers with whom he played until 2010, when he formed The Farm Hands.  Mosley, who is also a well-known songwriter for other artists, began his solo career in 2020. “Long Days & Short Stories” is his fourth record.
