Title: "Ghost Brothers" News
Post by: walktall2010 on September 16, 2011, 02:23:37 pm
From a Beatweek article on Will Dailey:

To touch on his resume, Dailey is a two-time winner of the Boston Music Awards in the category for “Best Singer/Songwriter” and he has performed with the likes of Neil Young, Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp at two of their Farm Aid concerts, including the one this year in Kansas City.

Philanthropic projects aside, Dailey recently got together with Mellencamp and Stephen King on a project with renowned producer T-Bone Burnett entitled “Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.” An interesting collaboration of which Dailey described as “Grad school for musicians,” he tells of how grateful he was to be a part of it all. “I sang with Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello – it was an amazing experience to be involved with everyone.”

A musical written by King, with songs by Mellencamp, produced by Burnett sounds like a dream for any music lover out there. Scheduled to open in the Spring of 2012, eager fans can expect the soundtrack to be available prior.
