Description: south of delia [Audio CD] Richard Shindell Product Overview Format: South Of Delia This stunning new album from Richard Shindell - his seventh - finds this artist inhabiting the words and music of his favorite songwriters. But this is more than just a collection of covers. This is a Richard Shindell record. Familiar classics are transformed, and new songs receive a definitive reading. Spurred on by first-rate musicians - Richard Thompson, Eliza Gilkyson, Larry Campbell, Viktor Krauss, Tony Trischka, and Lucy Kaplansky to name a few - every song on South of Delia is meticulously crafted. American roots music doesn't get any better. Though folksinger Richard Shindell writes most of his own material, here he puts his conceptual and interpretive stamp on a wide range of songs by others. His rendition of "Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)" transforms that Dylan obscurity into one of the better Dylan covers, highlighted by Shindell's otherworldly slide guitar. That song finds a thematic partner in "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)," by Dylan's earliest major influence, Woody Guthrie. From Robbie Robertson's "Acadian Driftwood" and A.P. Carter's "The Storms Are on the Ocean" to a mandolin-driven rendition of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." and Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street" (the only cover that doesn't really work, as it strains the upper register of Shindell's craggy baritone), the material has a strong sense of place and displacement. (As the artist suggests in his brief notes, every one of these songs has a narrator who may be quite distinct from the songwriter.) Among those providing superb support are guitarist Richard Thompson (on two cuts), bassist Viktor Krauss, former Dylan sideman Larry Campbell (on electric and steel guitars), and Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson on harmonies. --Don McLeese P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review A tour-de-force of brilliantly crafted songs, passionately delivered songs that consistently create three dimensional visual and emotional images which move through the listeners minds eye. --Stereo Review See more Details Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ No Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.48 x 0.28 x 4.91 inches; 2.4 ounces Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ Richard Shindell Recordings Date First Available ‏ : ‎ April 22, 2007 Label ‏ : ‎ Richard Shindell Recordings Number of discs ‏ : ‎ 1 Best Sellers Rank: #47,397 in CDs & Vinyl (See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl) #523 in Traditional Folk (CDs & Vinyl) #641 in Contemporary Folk (CDs & Vinyl) #1,563 in Pop Singer-Songwriters #523 in Traditional Folk (CDs & Vinyl) Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
