Today's selection is a song by Delta Spirit, a four-person, Americana rock band from Long Beach, California. They're a relatively new group, started in 2005 by Jonathan Jameson and Brandon Young, who played together in many other bands. I've seen this band pop up in a wide range of clubs in the area, including DiPiazza's.
Their selection from their second album, "Bushwick Blues," is an invigorating mix of stadium power chords and mellow vocals. It brings me great memories of the Kings of Leon in their heyday, before they tried to copy U2's overused style of epic rock.
The band is named after a company owned by Jameson's great uncle, the "Delta Spirit Taxidermy Station of North Central Alabama." They've toured with two pretty well-known indie bands, Cold War Kids and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Hopefully this download card will get the band some more recognition for their new album, "History from Below."
Here's a live acoustic version on YouTube.
