I have been a Darryl Worley fan for several years now. I have just recently begun a music video DVD collection. It has been a lot of fun for me so far and I’ve been able to find country music DVDs at a reasonable price. The Darryl Worley Have You Forgotten? DVD was priced at $5.99 and it is nice addition to my collection.

Info/Credits

During the welcome Darryl thanks you for buying the DVD and tells you what to expect while watching it. He shares the Have You Forgotten? story. Darryl tells it in his own words onscreen. He went to Afghanistan to visit the soldiers during Christmas 2002. As Darryl talks there are various still pictures shown from that trip. He saw how much the military had done for us and he wanted to do something for them to show respect and honor. He also wanted the military to know that we care and are behind them. The song was written also to serve as a reminder to the horrible events of 9/11. He shares a story about a mother that lost her son in the war. Darryl has tears in his eyes as he shares the story of meeting the mother and the soldier’s little brother.

The Videos:

When You Need My Love has Darryl playing his guitar in it. It is about a girl who always wants him when things don’t work out with the other guy. Darryl plays the used guy in the video. He gets a new girlfriend though and doesn’t let the old love use him any longer. 2000

A Good Day to Run:

It starts with an old man telling about Darryl learning to play the guitar. Darryl is singing in front of a big crowd outside. There are lots of outdoor scenes such as: a little girl blowing bubbles, someone playing horseshoes, a girl eating a watermelon, people in a jeep, lots of little kids, horseback riding and a baby sleeping. 2000

Second Wind:

Darryl is sitting by the coastline playing his guitar. There is a big boat shown and lots of ocean scenes. There are various pictures of a woman shown through the video. The pictures of the sunset and the ocean are absolutely gorgeous. At the end of the video it said that it was “in loving memory of Vickie Lynn Stroud McGraw”. 2001

Family Tree:

This is a really fun song and it has a fun video as well. There is a clip of a couple dancing and the sound of the cutest little boy laughing. There are a whole group of musicians sitting on the porch in the country making music together. Darryl is wearing overalls and you can expect to see many country scenes. 2002

I Miss My Friend:

Darryl is playing his guitar while a girl on the couch is listening to him sing. The girl ends up in tears from Darryl’s moving song.


Have You Forgotten?

At the start of the video is a shadowy image of Darryl. There is footage from 9/11 on the video. You will also see assorted other shots like firefighters, buildings in ruins and memorials to the victims. There are also clips of soldiers and one of the Pentagon with a huge flag draping over it. The video ends with a picture of the Twin Towers before the tragic day of 9/11/2001. 2003

Tennessee River Run:

The same cute old man that was in A Good Day to Run makes his way to this video as well. In the video commentary it explains that he is a local citizen and in his 80’s. Darryl thinks he is a pretty neat guy so he brought him back for this fun video. This video is about a great big party on the lake. There are lots of summer scenes such as: boats, swimming, girls in bikinis, skiing, fishing, and jumping from a cliff. 2003

Final Thoughts:

I really enjoyed watching the videos that were on this DVD. Darryl Worley is a talented country music singer and songwriter. I also really liked the video commentary for each video. That was a nice surprise because I didn't pay much attention when I bought the DVD.

I feel like Darryl tried to give his fans the most he could with his DVD. He explained to us how songs came about and background information on the videos.

The sound and picture were both great. It was also very easy to navigate through the menu.
