Career
He made his Grand Ole Opry debut in June 2003. "Have You Forgotten," which was inspired by the events of the September 11, 2001 attacks, received a Country Music Association nomination for single of the year.
Each year, Worley hosts a Charity Foundation Event, the "Tennessee River Run." Proceeds benefit the Darryl Worley Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provides funds to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,1.
Music
Worley wrote for FAME Studios prior to branching out as a solo artist. He honed his craft and frequented a number of night spots in Muscle Shoals, Alabama prior to his nationwide success.
Worley has also recorded a song entitled, "I Found Love at a Kmart Store," which the Sears Holdings Corporation used in its television and in-store advertising.
Worley was signed to DreamWorks Records in 1999; however, he lost his record deal when DreamWorks closed its music operations in 2005. In 2005, Worley signed on with country singer Neal McCoy's new label, 903 Music. The label declared bankruptcy in May 2007.2
In early 2008, Worley signed to Stroudavarious Records, releasing the single "Tequila on Ice" in June, but the song didn't chart until the week of October 4, 2008, where it debuted at #56 on the Hot Country Songs.
