Tom Gray has always been a compelling songwriter, and this CD proves that he, along with the fine musicians accompanying him on CABBAGETOWN, continues to serve up masterful, and varying material. The two slide guitar attack still plays well in this latest Delta Moon set, and it's a joyful, or in some cases an emotional, group of tracks. Each tune has its own identity, and the singing from Tom and Mark Johnson, plus some exceptional background vocal work, makes CABBAGETOWN one of the group's best. This is one delightful and down to earth band, and they are a joy to hear and see. ~Eddie Cleveland

Delta Moon, an Atlanta-based outfit melded around twin, lead slide guitars, offers rock-tinged blues and roots music that never go over the top or scream "boogie" in your face. In that respect, this quintet is much more closely aligned with Peter Green's Splinter Group---though not as cold-sounding as that blues outfit---than with southern icons such as the Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynrd.
Guitarists Tom Gray (former main man for the brains but not the bluegrass bass player of the same name) and Mark Johnson create a wonderful tone when they merge and neither seems to crowd the other. This musical symbiosis yields a rich sound that is both crisp and greasy at times but never sloppy. Bolster this element with Gina Leigh's right-on vocals, and punchy, charged up rhythm section, a sprinkling of bright piano, and Vassar Clement's cameo fiddle on Stone Cold Man, Delta Moon is a force to be reckoned with (or with which to be reckoned for those preposition purists out there).
This set contains a mixture of strongly original tracks and creative covers---including the memorable title track, which is an R.L. Burnside tune, and a great rendering of Nightclubbing by David Bowie and Iggy Pop. "Goin' Down South" may be one of the best unheralded, deserves-to-be-heard releases hiding out there. ~Loce the wizard
