Blair Daly’s body of work winds effortlessly through numerous genres, with songs that all have at least one thing in common: killer hooks. He crafted Uncle Kracker’s symphonic pop hit, “Smile,” and helped Rascal Flatts nab a No. 1 on the country chart with the perseverance anthem “Stand.” Daly even inserted his Midas touch into thundering metal (Halestorm’s “Daughters of Darkness”) and monumental hard rock (Dorothy’s “Rest In Peace”).
