Search - Will Dailey :: Torrent, Volumes 1 & 2

Torrent is Will Dailey's adventurous project of multiple music volumes scheduled throughout 2009 and 2010 that is already featuring luminaries such as Roger McGuinn, Kay Hanley and Elliot Easton (The Cars) and has been blessed by Grammy Award winning producer T Bone Burnett. Instead of continuing on the common artist's cycle of releasing a new album every two years or so, Dailey is releasing a burst of new music ever 3-4 months, enabling fans to join Will as he continues forth on his musical journey. Torrent, Volumes 1 & 2 combines the first two EPs in the series - Fashion Of Distraction and By The Blue Hills, as well as two bonus tracks -- bringing his audience up to date with his complete musical output for the first half of this year.

The Fashion Of Distraction portion of the CD features five songs written over a period of time when Dailey was listening to a lot of Byrds music, and features the one and only Roger McGuinn on Rickenbacker 12-string and singing harmony on the opening track, "Peace Of Mind". By The Blue Hills makes up the second half of the CD and was influenced by the landscape, the sights and sounds, and the unique energy of Boston and its music scene as experienced by Dailey after he returned to his hometown after a two-year stint in Los Angeles in 2006. That cross-country move resulted in 2007 s independently-released Back Flipping Forward album, a new record deal, and a series of U.S. tours and higher-profile gigs. By The Blue Hills features guest appearances by such Boston notables as Elliot Easton (The Cars), Kan Hanley (Letters to Cleo), Tanya Donnelly (Belly, Throwing Muses) and Tim Brennan (Dropkick Murphys).

In addition to the great new music found on Torrent, Volumes 1 & 2, the release has been certified by multiple Grammy Award winner and music legend T Bone Burnett, who has employed his CODE high-definition audio standard on these recordings. CODE creates sound that is virtually indistinguishable from the master recordings an artists creates in the studio, and the result is music exactly as it's meant to be heard, but that does not require the audience to purchase any new or special equipment to play. Each package comes with two discs: The first is a DVD that can be played on any standard player or one built into virtually any computer system. This DVD also contains CODE-Process files in .wav, .aac, and mp3 formats, providing the listener with the ultimate in flexibility demanded by today's audio environment. These files can be copied into most computer music programs and downloaded onto most personal music players. The second disc is a CODE CD for use in a car or in any other environment in which CD playback over DVD is preferred.
