Free Music Notes for Delta MoonFree Music Review: Delta Moon, my review from Barcelona Hit: 4 StarsI didn't know this band before I read in Amazon web, by chance, M.Bernocchi's listmania with the twenty five better Blues album in his opinion and this Delta Moon's Delta Moon record was in there, then I read the reviews published in Amazon reviews section so I decided to buy it. After hearing it I don't totally agree whit the reviews published because although I thing is a good record, there are very good Blues and performance, but it is not for five stars as all the reviewers opine at less until my review. The two first songs Son House's `Preachin' Blues' and original `House of Dolls' are marvellous as well as Willie Dixon's `Wang Dang Doodle' one of the best covers I've heard and Fred Mc Dowell's `Shake `Em on down' also very good. Now then `She's mine, She's Yours' and `Play me a song, little blind boy' for me don't play in the same league they sound a little bored and some Country sound (I don't like Country). The other record songs are in a good line getting a very good traditional Blues album. So that I give it between 3,5 and 4 stars.
Free Music Review: Excellent bluesy rock with two slide players! Hit: 5 StarsAs one who has 40 ft of lps, a huge CD collection, over 40,000 digital songs, and has played guitar in many bands for 40 years, I think everyone who likes the bluesy rock sort of music will love these guys. I have all 3 of their CDs and like them all. My taste runs the gamut covering all American music from blues to zydeco and I'll simply say that Delta Moon are hot!! I'm not sure I could reasonably decide which of the 3 to buy...better get 'em all!
Free Music Review: Fantastic! Hit: 5 StarsI could start and finish my review with a single word: FANTASTIC! However maybe it is better to say something more about this abosutely marvellous blues CD. I never heard about this band in my life. I found them by chance surfing Amazon.com catalogue and I bought this CD because of the reviews published below. Really I didn't know what to expect when I put the CD in my car's CD player this morning. What a fantastic surprise! It has been a long time since a record has impressed me so much at the first listening. This is a traditional blues album played from start to finish with incendiary passion, great respect for the tradition and most of all with incredible mastery. The two guitarists' job on slide (electric and acoustic lap) is a real treat that will please even the more "difficult to please" blues lover, and Gina Leigh's singing is comparable to the great masters of the past. Best tunes: House of doll, Mansfiel road, the cover of the all time classic Shake 'em on down, and most of all the stunning original You can't make somebody love you. I liked it so much that the first thing I've done, as soon as I came back home, it was to buy the other two albums available! Five stars +!!
Free Music Review: Best New Blues Band in Years Hit: 5 StarsI have watched this band for two years now and have seen them just become better and better. Tom's slide guitar and Gina's vocals are top notch. If you want a great album whith new twists to the Blues get this album and be on the look out to see this band.
Free Music Review: Thank God for these guys Hit: 5 StarsI had the privlidge of seeing Delta Moon perform at a small club attached to a bowling alley. There was probably 20 people there and Delta Moon kicked ass. Towards the end of the set when Gina Leigh and the boys belted out "Preachin' Blues", I was at church for the very first time in years...I was a jumping up and down. The only problem I have is I don't know which CD I like better, this one or their sophmore effort "Delta Moon Live". These guys are the best thing happening in music today. With the slultry Gina on vocals, the twin lap and bottleneck slide attack and the tighter than tight bass and drums, just try picturing Little Feat with Robert Johnson and Susan Tedeschi (Gina's better) in the band playing Beggar's Banquet in a swamp with everybody drunk, stoned, dancing and a grinning and a hooping and a hollerin'. Trust me, buy this and their live CD and you will not be disappointed, but you still won't be as cool as me because I saw them live and intimate.
