Worley goes mellow on his first single for his new label, Stroudavarious Records. The song is so laid back that it's easy to miss the charming lyric. While it's nice to hear him explore the nuances of his voice, th
is would benefit from a stronger backing track with more compelling instrumentation.
Regardless, it's nice to have him back. Darryl Worley's one of the past decade's most underrated talents, and while this song isn't among his greatest performances, it's a reasonably good effort.
Grade: B
Listen: Tequila on Ice
I agree that the song is good (I saw him do it @ the CMA Fest). I think that he has a mild chart hit here.
Not another “tequilla” song?! ;-)
People who only know his singles have no idea how good he is.
With the exception of “Have You Forgotten?”, I’ve always liked Worley. He has a great traditional voice and sticks nicely to the genre.
Chris,
That’s so right about Worley. His albums have always been good.
give me a good definition for “laid back” – daryl worley’s “tequila on ice” sounds really nice.
I think Darryl has a hit with this song. I hope he will finally get the recognition that he deserves. He has a great voice.
