I Miss My Friend is the sophomore album from country traditionalist Darryl Worley, who debuted in 2000 with Hard Rain Don't Last. The new disc, which reunites him with the same production team that cut his last one, includes the title cut, Worley's first Top 10 hit.
All Music Guide
This Merle Haggard/Randy Travis sound-alike oozes natural talent. Worley is a standout in a sea of country-pop wannabes. Words like "good ol' boy," "honky tonk", and "down home" can be used to describe this straight-shooting album. The buoyant "Tennessee River Run," the first cut, sets the tone, letting listeners know that for the next 41 minutes they would be in for a hootin' and hollerin' ride. And they are, with songs like "Callin' Caroline" and "Spread a Little Love Around." Notables include the bluesy "Family Tree" and the jazz-infused "Opportunity of a Lifetime." Worley's skill as a songwriter is not to be overlooked, either. I Miss My Friend is a gratifying listen. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia, All Music Guide
