JUNE 2023 (MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA) - Willie Wagtail Records is proud to highlight J.D Worley's hit single, "Distant Fading Memory." Released on June 30, 2022, the song remains Worley's top track on Spotify.

J.D Worley is a singer-songwriter known for his melancholy artistic style. A modern-day cross between Woody Guthrie and Kenny Rogers, Worley's music finds itself in the country/folk genre, full of pensiveness and reminiscent of the good old times. 

"Distant Fading Memory" is raw and personal. Soft guitar grooves set the scene, while electric slide guitar adds bluesy flourishes. The music puts you at ease, smooth like a glass of whiskey, with hints of nuance. 

Worley's folksy, storytelling voice draws listeners into a narrative of common, difficult emotions- regret, depression, and hope. The lyrics tell the story of a man who drinks too much and is tired of being alone, but it does not end there. Worley places a shift in the song's middle, showing growth on the horizon. Sprinkled with a sense of hope and future joy, it's the perfect anthem for anyone longing to find a love worth changing for.
