The album was produced by Music Row veteran James Stroud, who signed Darryl to his first record contract. "Working with James again makes as much sense as anything that I've done since I've been in this business," says Darryl. "We've have had a lot of success together, and I didn't see any reason why we couldn't continue that at Stroudavarious." The CD features Darryl's current single, "Sounds Like Life to Me," which he co-wrote with Wynn Varble and Phil O'Donnell.  "What's ironic about that song is Wynn, Phil and I wrote it several years ago, but it really speaks to what people are going through with their jobs and families right now," says Darryl.
