CALLS CAIRO GEORGIA HOME. LIKE MOST SMALL TOWNS, THERE WASN’T A LOT TO DO. SO,WHEN HE WASN’T WORKING, DARYLE WAS SINGING GOSPEL MUSIC AROUND THE AREA WITH HIS BROTHER KEVIN. KEVIN NOW DRIVES A TRUCK FOR PEPSI, ( I GUESS DARYLE GETS IN TROUBLE IF HE DRINKS A COKE!)

ROGER, DARYLE’S DAD, WORKED AS A SUPERVISOR AT THE POST OFFICE, AND MOM, ANITA, WORKED AS A LICENSED HAIRDRESSER.

GROWING UP ON A FARM , IT ONLY SEEMED NATURAL TO GET A JOB AT THE TRACTOR DEALERSHIP WHEN HE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL.

DARYLE ALMOST DIDN’T GRADUATE! HE HADN’T TAKEN THE REQUIRED PHYS-ED CLASSES. WHEN DARYLE EXPLAINED THE PREDICTAMENT TO THE PRINCIPAL, THE PRINCIPAL PASSED DARYLE SAYING ‘YOU’VE WORKED HARD, EXERCISING YOUR VOCAL CHORDS’.

ALWAYS THE ANIMAL LOVER, DARYLE JOINED 4H , AND THE FFA. BACK THEN, HE SHOWED HOGS. THESE DAYS ‘LEVI’, A LONG HAIRED MINIATURE CHIHUAHUA, AND A PALOMINO MARE NAMED 'BELL PEPPER', KEEP DARYLE BUSY WHEN HE’S AT HOME.

ON HIS DAYS OFF YOU MAY FIND DARYLE IN THE SADDLE, BUT MOST LIKELY HE’LL BE RARED BACK IN HIS EASY CHAIR WATCHING HIS FAVORITE MOVIE, ‘LONESOME DOVE’ , OR JUST READING A GOOD BOOK. HE RECOMMENDS ‘I LIVED TO TELL IT ALL’, WRITTEN BY GEORGE JONES.

DARYLE MOVED TO NASHVILLE IN 1990. HIS FIRST BIG BREAK CAME WHILE SINGING A DEMO FOR JOHNNY MORRIS AND JERRY FOSTER. THE SONG WAS NONE OTHER THAN ‘OLD PAIR OF SHOES’. A FRIEND OF DARYLE’S PLAYED IT FOR RANDY TRAVIS. RANDY WANTED TO CUT THE SONG HIMSELF.
DARYLE LET RANDY HAVE THE SONG, AND ENDED UP WITH A MANAGEMENT DEAL IN THE BARGAIN.

SPEAKING OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN THE STUDIO, DARYLE MET HIS WIFE KERRY, WHO WAS ALSO PURSUING A CAREER AS A SINGER, DURING A DEMO SESSION. THEY GOT MARRIED ON JUNE 24TH, 1995, AND I GUESS IT REALLY WAS A ‘MIRACLE IN THE MAKING’, WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE SONG THAT THEY CHOSE TO DO AS DUET ON DARYLE’S LATEST ALBUM.

WITH 3 ALBUMS UNDER HIS BELT ON GIANT RECORDS DARYLE’S HITS INCLUDE, ‘I LET HER LIE’, ‘TOO MUCH FUN’, ‘ AMEN KIND OF LOVE’ , AND ‘THE NOTE’. 

DARYLE SINGLETARY FANS ARE GETTING THE ‘REAL DEAL’ WITH THIS ALBUM. RIGHT NOW , DARYLE MUST FEEL LIKE HIS FAVORITE TV SHOW ‘KING OF THE HILL’.

Brad Hawkins

. . . on Curb Universal, was one album that a lot of young females ask for as a stocking stuffer this Christmas. If they didn't get, remember Valentine's Day, and her Birthday will be here before you know it! Believe me Dad, when you see him on stage singing ‘I’m the One’, he'll make your daughter, and you, believe it! But when he sings ‘Starlight’ you’ll just want to grab Mama & start dancing…so maybe you better go back to the store, and pick up a CD for you & Mama too!

Heather Myles

. . . is one of the hottest new acts on Rounder Records! Heather’s ‘smooth, husky voice’ even enticed Merle Haggard to do a duet with her on her new album, 'Highways & Honky Tonks’. She’s been referred to as ‘Dwight Yoakam in female clothes’. To book Heather for your events call APA booking in Nashville.
