The Sound of Bailey 
In
2005 The Sound of Bailey made an album of 11 songs in his own
very unique and original style - a much praised small release focusing on
pure songwriting.
The Way That Things Are Done
has tales
about lighthouse keepers, celestial production lines, consequences of
wrong delivered mail, mermaids and sailors, bottom class in school,
building robot men and more! The Album resulted in a session for
cult show Garden of Earthly Delights and made it into Tasty
Fanzines Best Albums of 2005. The
Way That Things Are Done was produced by Nick Crofts and the
pair have since gone on to form the brilliant The
Title Sequence. |

"...the songs
flourish in the simplest of settings and the contrast between
that simplicity and the delicate, intricate beauty of what
he’s saying, makes this a powerful album. Introspection,
subtlety and gentleness in folk music will lead Bailey to some
obvious comparisons. So obvious that there is no need to
namecheck them here. The Way That Things Are Done is a jewel in
the crown worn by those predecessors but it also deserves to be
judged on its own merits."
- Americana UK
“Spinning
sweet yarns of mermaids, lighthouse keepers and failed romance
in self-deprecating style, his songs are simple,
straight-forward and never outstay their welcome or become
boring despite only the odd piano flourishes. “Could Have Been
a Sign” is a classic example - a dead ringer for Dylan’s
“Lay Lady Lay” with a more subdued Morrisey on vocals. I
also particularly liked “Hospital Bed”. All in all, a small
triumph."
- Will Columbine, Tasty Fanzine
"Bailey’s
smooth melodies and friendly voice is the remedy I recommend for
any troubled brow. This is real talent that deserves to go far."
- Juliet Burton, The Ely Standard
