Deryl Dodd

One Ride in Vegas	Stronger Proof	Pearl Snaps	Full Circle The title of Deryl Dodd's latest release, Full Circle, is definitely one chosen with some thought. This album not only represents for Dodd, a return to his Texas roots, family and faith, but is a project produced by the same person that Deryl made his first move to Nashville with...	Regular Joe
If There Was a Way Dwight Yoakam's fourth studio album was his most muscular yet. Alongside the overtly rocking cuts, his honky-tonkers also kicked harder than anywhere in his catalog; on top of all this, he gave his loosest, most assured-sounding vocal performances to date. That he cowrote one of ...	Honky Tonk Attitude With his third album, Joe Diffie began his transformation from country music traditionalist to honky-tonk rocker. The muscular title song and the turbo swing of the novelty hit, "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die)," connected Diffie to a younger, larger audience. Therefore,...

God meant THIS when he said "Country Music"
For the naysayers who proclaim that Country is (again) "onit's way out", purchase, borrow or steal this CD! Deryl is one ofthe most talented performers - Country or otherwise- to come along ina long, long time, evident in his songwriting, arrangements, vocals -the whole ball of wax. Plenty of artists today are only mildlytalented, causing some to wonder if it's true that anybody these dayscan get a recording contract... not so with Deryl Dodd. His rock n'roll approach to good old-fashioned, hardworkin', downhome countrymusic will leave you pining for more with the ending of every song,and the bluesy cuts- ohhh, those bluesy cuts...(excuse me, I need tobe alone for a few seconds) well, they speak for themselves. Deryl isas good in concert, if not better- as he is in studio. I only wishthat while listening to the CD I could see him - singing with thoseeyes closed; that sexy little grin on the most adorable face on theplanet, and Heavens above ...those 13MWZ's... Deryl Dodd is God's giftto Wranglers. And you can't get that on a CD. (sigh....) But this isthe closest thing to it.... A Deryl Dodd CD is as good as a 2 weekpaid vacation!

Country at its best delivered by DD
Had never heard of Deryl until I saw "Friends Don't Drive Friends" video on CMT recently. I went to the internet to find out as much as as I could about him because his sound takes me back to the old WWVA days, too long ago to think about! They were good sounds and so is Deryl's. I was so excited to get this CD from a promotion through BMG and there is not one song that couldn't stand on its own. So many times when you purchase a CD there's a lot of lost time between good songs but every song on this one is great. Deryl has an unforgettable voice, a sound that you'll recognize every time you hear him and such a sincere delivery that makes you not want the songs to end. I play mine over and over and never get tired of it. I read an article where he laughed about people calling him a "throwback" but I think that was a compliment of the best kind. That means that he is singing REAL music and has the REAL country sound to do it. He's not "pop", he's COUNTRY. So much of the music now isn't genuine COUNTRY like I grew up with but Deryl's songs bring back a lot of good memories and definitely exude COUNTRY at its best! You can just about hear the tears in his voice when he sings the sad songs and you can see him just a swingin' when he sings "Bad for Good"! He's delivering himself, heart and soul, when he sings, totally genuine, somewhat shy, and that draws you to him. I was so glad to hear that he is well enough to be doing some shows after quite an extended recovery period from his illness. Was so sorry to have missed him when he was in Orlando. Can't wait for him to expand his tours into my area and when he does I'll be the first one there! Deryl might have taken a slight setback due to his illness but I'm sure he'll back stronger than before and his name will be among the GREATS "somewhere down the road".

Deryl Dodd is clearly the greatest newguy
Deryl Dodd's newest album is another masterpiece. If you buy this cd you will be as happy as the millions before you. His music is what country music is all about. I hope to see some #1's coming his way. 10 stars!!!

Deryl Dodd is the best newcomer of the year
This is a great CD. Deryl Dodd is the best new singer of the year. He writes most of his songs and his passion comes through the words. I recommend purchasing this CD. It is great

Country the way it ought to be
Deryl Dodd's new self-titled CD is the best album I've heard in a long time. The first single is "A Bitter End", a cautionary tale from one man to another about what happens if you don't hold on to that woman you'll miss the rest of your life. Deryl's ballads ("Best I Ever Had", "On Any Given Day") are the best in the business and his rockers, especially "Bad For Good", are superlative. If you only buy one country CD this year, this should be it. My only complaint is that the single "Time On My Hands" isn't on the CD.
