Two-Time PGA Major Champion John Daly Releases New Country Music Album

Iconic and often unpredictable golfer, John Daly, has added a new shot to his repertoire, releasing an album of heartfelt and semi-autobiographical songs through Nashville-based digital label, GMV Nashville.

His latest effort, titled I Only Know One Way, is Daly’s second album release and features a mix of Country and blues-infused rockers (“Hit It Hard,” “Big John”), contemplative ballads (“Wrong Directions,” “Lost Souls”) and the occasional cover song (Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”). The insightful “I Only Know One Way” features chart-topping former Hootie and the Blowfish front man and current Country star, Darius Rucker. Rucker also helped Daly co-write the title track.

“The album itself is really my life,” said Daly in a recent interview with Airplay Direct. “All of the songs have a meaning to them… Most of the record is happening – or has happened in my life. I hope people can relate to some of the troubles I have had along the way. Everyone around the world has problems, and I want to connect with those people.”

I Only Know One Way is currently available as a digital album through GMV Nashville (www.GMVNashville.com), an online record label that specializes in releases from classic and contemporary Country artists, such as Charlie Daniels, Toy Caldwell, Lane Brody and more. Much of the label’s catalog is out-of-print or hard to find titles. GMV also features special projects like Daly’s I Only Know One Way and the epic three-disc patriotic collection, This Is My America.

Following his debut release, My Life, Daly was encouraged to record a follow-up album by friend and Nashville industry veteran, Herky Williams. Williams connected Daly with songwriter and record producer David Malloy (Reba McEntire, Eddie Rabbitt, Tim McGraw, Julianne Hough), who produced the 11-track collection in Nashville.
