Rounder Records duo Dailey & Vincent recently completed filming a video for "On the Other Side," the forthcoming single from their chart-topping album dubbed Brothers From Different Mothers. Directed by Julian Smith, the performance clip features Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent, along with their band and a string section.
The touching ballad, written by former Statler Brothers member Jimmy Fortune, Kevin Denney and Tom Botkin, evokes the emotions felt when a loved one dies, ranging from grief, loneliness and regret to peacefulness and the hope of seeing them again "on the other side." The video is scheduled for completion later this month, but in the meantime, those interested in listening to the tune can do just that via the duo Web site at www.myspace.com/thedaileyvincentband.
Dailey & Vincent's Brothers From Different Mothers disc debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Bluegrass Albums chart and has remained in the top five since its release, returning to No. 1 for the issue dated May 23. It was also at the top of the Sirius XM Bluegrass Junction Most-Played Albums chart for May, reflecting airplay in April.
In a Philadelphia Inquirer review about the album, one reporter wrote, "Dailey & Vincent pick up where they left off on their bracing, self-titled debut: breathless bluegrass breakdowns ("Head Hung Down"), mournful country ballads (Roger Miller's "You Ought to Be With Me"), country-folk narratives (Gillian Welch and David Rawlings' "Winter's Come and Gone"), and uplifting spirituals ("When I've Traveled My Last Mile," "When I Reach That Home Up There"). The beautifully tight harmonies throughout take various forms--duet, trio, quartet--but are rooted in the deep connection between the two 'brothers.'"
Moreover, a review on Blogcritics.org noted the following: "For their sophomore release the brothers-in-spirit tear through an all-acoustic set that sounds resolutely traditional, though the playlist does include tunes from Dailey and other current songwriters ... there's homespun wisdom, selfless love, and lots of heartbreak-standard themes, though rarely are they delivered with such infectious energy and enthusiasm."
Upcoming Dailey & Vincent performance include a July 30 show in Nashville as part of the Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman series with the SteelDrivers, as well as June 17 in Bean Blossom, Ind., at the Bill Monroe Memorial Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival; June 19 in Victorville, Calif., at the Huck Finn Jubilee; and June 20-21 in Grass Valley, Calif., at the California Bluegrass Association Father's Day Bluegrass Festival.
