During the summer of 2020 English singer songwriter Ian M Bailey began work on a brand new co writing project with Glasgow’s songsmith Daniel Wylie of Cosmic Rough Riders. Following the release of the EP “Shots Of Sun”, Ian and Daniel agreed to start work on a follow up album which would soon become “Songs To Dream Along To”.

Recorded and produced at Ian’s home studio ‘Small Space Studios’ the album sits rich in melody and fine songwriting interwoven with Ian’s trademark 12 string Rickenbacker, adding it’s unmistakable jangle to the blend of bass, drums, keys, strings and harmonies.
Inspiration came from acts such as The Byrds, CSN, The Association, R.E.M, The Moody Blues, Bee Gees, America and Lennon & McCartney.
