Will Dailey and the story of the Red Bullet In November of last year Will Dailey embarked on a soulful project to create a standout album. He wanted to craft a record that stood up for independent artists struggling to keep their heads above water. The only way to do that, Dailey says, “is to sacrifice everything.” The dynamic eleven tracks of “goodbyeredbullet” is a palpable example of doing just that. In designing the album, this born and bred Bostonian sheds his skin and lends his heart and soul. There’s no holding back in songs like “Slow her down” and “Wound up” where he conveys his own personal findings on love and relationships; two things Dailey believes are out of our control. On the stunning opus, “Casual Friday” we are blessed with Dailey’s depth of musical talent. The song starts as an acoustic whisper but crescendos to layers of horns, choirs, and percussions. Not only did he release his abilities lyrically and musically, he spent every penny he had to make the album. Why? Dailey explains, “I knew that I needed to incorporate a plethora of instruments on this record to express certain vulnerabilities to some of these songs.” So Dailey sold the car that helped him build the fan base that will ironically buy this recordhis little red Honda Civicthe “Red Bullet.” Crisscrossing the U.S. and Canada by plains, trains, buses or via the “Red Bullet,” Dailey has encouraged a loyal national following; one that has contributed to independent sales of over 10,000 CDs. As president of his own label with acts such as Mappari, Jon Gorey, and Max Heinegg, Dailey has shown his value. Many have compared Dailey, 26, to Nick Drake, early Stones, Zepplin, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam, Badly Drawn Boy, and Iron and Wine. There is truth in the vulnerable aspects of Dailey's voice; an aspect that is too remiss from today's music. With his musical roots in rock and roll, his heart full in the present, and his feet aimed at the future, Dailey has already accomplished what music lovers admire. People long for artists who aren’t afraid to put their whole selves on record and express themselves in ways that listeners can empathize eagerly awaiting each lyric and melody with anticipation. Will Dailey is a performer you must see, Goodbyeredbullet is a must have album, and sure to be the beginning of a collection that will indeed cross generations.
