Definitely now

"At times, Bailey's guitar is cranked up so it's reminiscent of such neo-blues rockers as the Black Keys (...) but he'll also ease into a little bit of dreamy smooth soul, blissed-out reggae, a swaying '50s 12-bar ballad and a little bit of folk. Although this cavalcade of styles is impressive, there's also a sense that Bailey isn't quite sure how to tie it all together, an impression that deepens as this very long album reaches its conclusion on the 16th song. So, treat Definitely Now as a sampler by a skilled songwriter, singer, and guitarist: individual tracks show boundless potential even when the sum of the parts don't quite add up".

"At its core, this fresh and vital statement is really a rock record with influences spanning r&b, garage-rock, psychedelia, and '60s and '70s pop. Bailey has a strong, free voice with expressive soulful phrasing that's grippingly immediate ... It's not retro; it's Definitely Now".
