Good and solid live album for fans of Swamp!

The quartet Delta Moon gives us a quite beautiful and audible combination of Swamp, Southern Rock, Mississippi blues as well as Americana and Roots. In Germany Unfortunately, the band is not well known, at the concerts cavort 200-400 spectators. This is a shame because I refer to the previously recorded studio albums the band and the existing positive response of the scene as well as the reviewers on Amazon.

With the album Life's a song the quartet now provides a live Mittschnitt their main songs that have been selected from 3 concerts in the USA. After self-representation, it should be in the drive to a self-produced bootleg. Here and there, this is true the recording quality, I've heard better recordings particularly in terms of ups and dynamics, these are nuances, but I want to mention briefly.

The recording is, however, a good idea of ​​what to expect the audience at Delta Moon: It pumps and presses, Southern really at its finest. I join previous speakers in here one: The concerts are often so long that a CD is too short, but a second is supposed to be already in the press. Especially the two slide guitars alternate kicking off, with intersecting verzerten sound. Spontaneously come to mind when comparisons like Tony Joe White and here and there Duane Allman. The lion's share of songs consisting of his own works, two interpretations of songs by other artists are doing, including the superb put forward You Got To Move (Fred McDowell)

Band leader and (main) singer Tom Gray should probably (still) let his fellow musicians more space for polyphonic / vocal harmonies. Tom Gray is not designated or shouter vocals miracle. This situation comes after several Abhöhren the plate to light. The aforementioned cover you got to move a tired old classic shows as well as anything can sound with the addition of other background singers.

Conclusion: A great album for fans of music styles described. 4 of 5 stars, some points (see review) missing for the highest score, but: whining at a high level
