The single showcases Mosley’s signature vocals, accompanied by the highly relatable lyrics. Its nostalgic vibe is sure to take listeners back to a time when things seemed a little simpler. The lyrics pay tribute to the Opry, Elvis, Bill Monroe, Aretha Franklin, Motown and other music heroes. The single was produced by Danny Roberts and Mosley. Rising Bluegrass star Jaelee Roberts handles the harmony vocals. “It fit right in my pocket, I’d take it everywhere Just place it on the window, the reception’s better there I’d run my thumb across it til the station comes in clear Then I’d sing right along to the sounds that I would hear From the Opry down in Nashville to the Ozark Jubilee To the new sounds out of Motown, it all sounded good to meI sang along with Elvis and played with Bill Monroe On the stage in my bedroom and my transistor radio” (Daryl Mosley, Rick Lang) “Grammy-nominated songwriter Rick Lang was my co-writer on the track. He came to me with the idea because a transistor radio is how he first heard popular music,” explains Mosley. “I grew up lying awake at night with a portable radio listening to baseball games from St. Louis, and music from Memphis and Nashville, so I related to it immediately. Rick and I often pitch songs to other artists, but as soon as we finished writing this one, I knew that I had to record it. I was just so connected to the song.”  To keep up with the latest news stories, upcoming tour dates and more, visit Daryl’s official website.
