The Story Behind the Music

Guy Bailey and Spike co-founded The Quireboys, achieving global tours and gold/platinum records. Guy Bailey's solo project 'Thirsty' began in 2014 collaborating with Russian poet Irina D. This album was conceived as a tribute, initially featuring Spike on only one track, '10, 7 and Possibly 6'. However, the immediate chemistry between Spike's voice and Guy's guitar led to the creation of this full, emotionally charged album.

God Bless America – Best Of Thirsty stands as both a celebration and a testament to the unmistakable creative spirit of Guy Bailey.
