notes

Reviewer: Tamara Turner, CD Baby
A CD Baby favorite, David M. Bailey presents this 2-CD anthology of the best of his work from the past 8 years. Writing from his life experiences of having overcome a terminal condition, the spirit of determination and hope is at the root of his songs. His insight into life weaves through his lines, buoying his messages upon his vocals. And his voice- tattered and strained on the surface and yet extending deeper beneath a heart of knowing and believing- carries a unique, wistful warmth. This is some of the best adult male folk pop you will find within and beyond our little indie world.

david is a walking songwriting singing miracle. After being told he had a brain tumor and would be dead in several months, he quit his corporate career and returned to his love of music. ...That was an 8 years ago.

He spent those years recording 9 albums of original material in support of what has become a full-time nationwide touring schedule (39 states and counting). He's won numerous songwriting awards (including the prestigious Kerrville NewFolk) and his story has been featured on national TV (48 hours, 60 Minutes).

Hope, the Anthology, is a triumphant compilation of his most inspiring and uplifting songs from his current recordings. This 2-disc set also features 4 new songs, including "Life Goes On!" This project is a melodic masterpiece of endurance and grace, showcasing the very best of what it means to keep on keeping on.

  • Hope - the anthology
    author: Kelly LaVine

    I bought this cd for the cut - Keep on Walking - but ended up loving the whole thing! Thank you!

  • Makes my heart come alive
    author: Dianne

    This cd is the most wonderful music I own. I play it everyday. Truly a gift for the ages!!!

  • Inspiring messages
    author: Kent

    I haven't listened to any other music since receiving this set last week. I work at an Oncology clinic and my mother is struggling with cancer. These songs are a comfort to me and reminds me about what is really important in life.

  • Reflects God's Light!
    author: Bonnie S from Virginia

    Great job helping me through my own recovery from brain tumor removal but the HOPE lyrics are for anyone who has ever suffered pain or illness, felt fear or determination, sorrow or triumph, been lost or found, loved or lonely, needed more peace and less anger. Guess that's the entire human race! How can I keep from singing?

  • Beautiful CD!!
    author: Denise Brown

    Wonderful CD! Some of the songs I feel as if David was writing just for me. His voice is calming. I have had a hard time dealing with my 20 year old son's brain tumor. All of david's songs are comforting, his music. I have all of his CD's and DVD. Each and every one of them are GREAT!

  • Awsome!
    author: Denise Brown

    Wonderful CD! Very inspiring! I feel as if I'm living some of the songs. Love Live Forever and When.

  • Hope is the perfect title
    author: Teresa Callahan

    So far I have bought three copies of this CD set. I keep giving mine away to people I love. The music/lyrics have been a blessing to me as a cancer survivor. The most touching has been "For Those Who Remain" which has been a comfort since losing my 18 year old son.

  • author: Patricia Murray

    I first heard the title song HOPE at an oncology convention sung by David Bailey. To see and hear him perform is an inspiration. Since I am an oncology nurse, I could share the songs on this CD with my patients. The CD came in as it was scheduled, just a few days from when it was ordered. A cute note was sent by BABY when the order I placed was confirmed. I will definitely order again from thie company.

  • AWESOME
    author: Jill

    I NEVER tire of any of the songs on this album...and still laugh when I listen to On The Way To Nashville :--)

  • Your CD is great!! When I received it, I played it all day!
    author: Victoria Olson

    I'm a cancer survivior also, and could relate to many of the songs on the CD. It's very inspiring and makes you think about living your life to the fullest. I will totally be listening to this CD for the rest of my days here on earth. Thank you David, keep on singin'. And God Bless you and your family.

  • author: Carolyn Whittern

    This cd has brought me so much inspiration. I am going through many tests now because my cancer has returned. I always take this cd and have the techs play it while I am receiving my MRI's. Each song always touches me. Thank you so much David.

  • Beautiful
    author: Sue

    I listen with my ears and hear it in my heart. There is such a need to share hope. I lost my sister in January to Glioblastoma after a very breif battle. The hope comes not only in the endurance, but in the encouragement. Thank you.

    author: Bruce

    This music is not only sung and played well; it's also some of the most positive music out there.

  • David Bailey's music provides daily hope to me and my daughter.
    author: Jean Hume

    This anthology is played at my daughter's house daily. She had surgery for a glioblastoma last April and has had many ups and downs. We each have our favorite songs as we go about our daily living. We hope to see him in Iowa City, Iowa next spring.

  • author: Linda Naka

    I've had the pleasure of hearing David live at ABTA conferences. The Hope anthology is an inspirational collection of some of David's best, past work. David's words speak to my heart and are a genuine expression of his life-changing medical experience. I recommend this anthology to everyone as a reminder that each day is precious and should be lived as fully as possible.

  • Awesome
    author: Ginny Evert

    I have all of David's cd's and did not realize there were some new ones on this 2 cd collection. Just great!!!

  • This Cd has been passed from friend to friend and we all love it!
    author: Colleen Burke

    My friend introduced this artist and CD to me and I loved it right off. She then gave it to me as a gift. I in turn shared it with a friend who loved it immediately and I gave it to her as a gift. It's easy to love at first 'sound' and I'm sure the circle will continue to grow with this one!!

  • A musical and emotional tour de force!
    author: Sandie B

    I stumbled across a link to David Bailey's CD Hope, and I played & enjoyed some snippets on each track. I took a chance and ordered it thinking what the heck. What a great surprise!

  • Why buy just one?
    author: Carolyn Majors Politte

    After buying just one Silent Conversation and then going back to buy more for others. I say buy two of these to start with. I DID! Now I have one for me and one to share. With holidays around the corner I wanted others to be as inspired as I have been. Thanks again David for speaking from your heart to mine.

  • An inspiration for all people facing the terrorfying brian tumor world.
    author: Virginia Dean

    My friend, Carol Cox, sent me David's CD after I told her that I had found his story on the internet while surfing for information. David and I have the same fabulous Neuro-surgeon, Dr Allan Friedman of Duke, NC. I came home yesterday after successful surgery and can't tell you what an inspiration David and his music are to me. He is truly a special person and I believe he was put on earth to help others. Sincerely, Virginia Dean

  • Fantastic! Fabulous!
    author: Jonelle

    I received this CD at the time when my dad was in the later days of his life. This collection of songs has sustained me as I am going through this very difficult time. I was introduced to David's talents this January, when I got to hear him at a conference. Since then, I am such a fan! His lyrics and music is so inspirational. His talent is just remarkable. I have given this CD to others. And recommending it to everyone.

  • David's best album so far!
    author: Mary Waite

    HOPE is the collection we've been waiting for -- the culmination of david's best work so far. david joyfully embraces the talents he has been given and freely shares his survivor's spirit with us in this soaring anthology. The husky sweetness of his voice reminds us to cherish the laughter and never surrender to life's sorrow. When he sings of hope, you know he means it. If you buy only one album this year, let it be HOPE. It will touch your heart.

  • enables us to triumph!
    author: Dr. David Schiff, UVA

    Artists and musicians have long confronted medical challenges that informed and transformed their art. Beethoven, Django Reinhardt, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles come to mind. In david bailey's case, a malignant brain tumor provided the impetus to leave a corporate job to perform inspirational folk music. In these gentle songs, David combines his wisdom, poetry, and humor. In sharing his personal journey, he reminds the listener that our capacity for hope enables and encourages us to face, and triumph over, the greatest challenges.

  • The Angels Are Sippin' and Dancin'
    author: Matthew

    A project david has wanted to materialize for some time is finally here! It represents *Eight* years of survival and hope! This collection includes All That Matters, a gem from david's initial (now OOP) cd's. Disc 2 is particuarly powerful with the addition of Life Goes On & On The Way to Nashville (a quarky little tune reminding us to look both ways before crossing!) Anthology is a resounding perspective on living and the passion we should all embrace in our lives. Keep On!
