Grandpa reviews new Delta Spirit album

Delta Spirit

Our Barnstormer buddies, Delta Spirit, are set to release a new self-titled album with a supporting tour in March. The first track off the album called “California" will be available for download on iTunes January, 31st. Lucky Grandpa Ashcraft is one of the first to hear the new material. I think he likes it.

Straight from the band:

Here’s the album art for our self-titled record, arriving March 13, 2012 on Rounder Records. Delta Spirit was produced by Chris Coady at Dreamland Recording Studios - a converted church built in 1896 in Woodstock, New York.

“We found the sound that we’ve been looking for, that we’ve been growing into, and as soon as we hit on it, we ran with it. That’s why it’s a self-titled record, so we could connect our identity with what we think Delta Spirit is” - Matt Vasquez.

Spring Tour dates have been announced. We don’t see any Madison shows on the horizon, but we’re sure the second leg of the tour will include one. Milwaukee's Turner Hall and The Metro in Chicago are on the intinerary.
