Career
1995-1996: Self-titled album

1996-1997: All Because of You
A second album for Giant, All Because of You (Daryle Singletary album)|All Because of You , was released in 1996.

'' Ain't It the Truth '', his third and final album for Giant, produced a minor hit in "The Note", which peaked at #28 on the country charts and #90 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Despite this song's minor crossover success, however, this album also saw its second and third singles miss the Top 40, and Singletary was dropped from Giant's roster.
