Daryle Singletary's roots-soaked approach to country wasn't exactly the flavour of the day when he emerged onto the scene in the mid-'90s, but there was no denying his deep Georgia twang and honky-tonk-schooled sound. Singletary established a commanding presence in country music with roadhouse roof-raisers like "Too Much Fun" and dramatic weepers like the George Jones-worthy ballad "The Note", and when Nashville turned even poppier in the ‘00s, he simply doubled down on his old-school ways with no-nonsense mission statements like "I Still Sing This Way".
