Of the collection, Wy said, “I wanted to bottle up all of the memories we made on the Back To Wy Tour, so this live album is a gift from me…to you.” The album will be available both digitally and as a 2 LP 140-gram set.

DARRYL WORLEY COMES OFF THE ROAD TO WIFE’S MEDICAL EMERGENCY

She doesn’t do so well with pain meds but we work together well and get things done.” As Darryl posted this while she was in surgery, we’re still waiting on word that the procedure was successful.
