The Delta Spirit release Ode to Sunshine - Easily One of the Greatest Albums of 2007

Don't be prideful son. Just do what's right. A Hard, Simple Lesson which could perhaps have been repeated many-a-time to the children of America's hardscrabble Nineteenth Century pioneers. Some of these hard-living pioneers are depicted inside the album cover of Delta Spirit's masterful "Ode to Sunshine" album (2007). The new record is an homage of sorts to those souls: the hard livin', hard drinkin, and people dyin' young on life's edge with not much to show for it. The album cover depicts a vintage photo of a monster tornado attacking a grey landscape. The darkness can do nothing however to touch this absolutely beautiful album and the triumph one feels after getting through just half the album...

Delta Spirit - People C'mon
LATE CANDIDATE FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Hit Play and Walk into a Dusty Saloon, stepping into a past you never knew. There is something epic and dangerous about these songs. Each of the tracks has a very intentional soft fuzz sound. (Excellent production qualities here, track after track!) The next song comes and the piano jangles a lonely tune while the voice rise in defiance of boredom, of sobriety, of, perhaps, living in the moment all-the-while knowing tomorrow is full of hard labor. Ode to Sunshine is all about feeling the pain and know you are still lucky to be alive. Kind of like: These are the brilliant days, no matter what.

Know just one thing: Ode to Sunshine is an incredible album - one of the best of the year. Delta Spirit was already a personal favorite band. But hey, congratulations boys! With this release - you are one of the best bands in the world right now. You heard it here first!
