I am not a big country fan and I bought this CD. In this case, video sold the music. I happened to catch the video of "A Good Day to Run", liked it, and liked Darryl. To be honest, after its initial play, I was rather ambivalent about this CD...a little too country for me. Then, I listened again....and again....and again...and again....These are great songs! And how can you not like someone who makes the effort to thank so many people who have believed in him, that it takes up an entire page of the CD insert, with the tiniest print?! Darryl Worley co-wrote 10 of the 12 songs on this CD; very admirable, indeed. My four favorites? "A Good Day to Run" (a great "first thing in the morning" song), "Hard Rain Don't Last", "Second Wind" (which makes me want to take the next jet south to the Gulf of Mexico and sit at the water's edge), and "When You Need My Love". I'm so happy that I bought this CD!
