The Bailey Brothers, an Old Time traditional duet, made a complete transition to a bluegrass band, The Happy Valley Boys. Although a well-received radio team, they never had a good opportunity to record for a major label in their prime years.

Recordings include:

  • The Sweetest Gift

Rest In Peace,Danny and Charlie

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with the Bailey Brothers in 1982,shortly after their very successful appearances at the 1982 world's fair. They were true professionals who loved the music and kept it true to it's roots. Their talent was massive and highly under rated. Their harmonies remain unmatched even today.
I didn't find out until today that they had both passed away.The world will miss them,but is a better place for them having been here.
Heaven surely has some fine new members in the choir now.
