Delta Deep Ushers in the Holiday Spirit

delta deep

Delta Deep comes to us today with a blues infused brand for rock n’ roll (and a dash of soul!) just in time for the Christmas season. Headed by Phil Collen of Def Leppard, he has brought together the phenomenal talents of Rob DeLeo (bassist/Stone Temple Pilots), Forrest Robinson (drummer/TLC, India.Arie, Engelbert Humperdinck) and Debbi Blackwell-Cook (former background singer for Michael Buble & Gregory Hines).  Together the accolades of the band members are legendary. Combined the members of Delta Deep have sold over 100 million albums, won Grammys, Diamond awards and American Music Awards and everything in between. Can we say supergroup?

Earlier this year, the group had released their full length, self-titled debut, and now are sharing their infectious holiday single, “Take Me Home for Christmas.” The song can bring out the holiday spirit even in the Grinch. With intertwined Blues hooks, Collen and co. bring the piece to life.

The sultry piece features Blackwell-Cook’s seductive and intricate voice, brought to life by driving instruments and subtle yet prominent backing vocals from the rest of the group. As bluesy guitar notes surround her voice, the band offer a unique take on holiday music, and spreads the cheer.

Delta Deep heads out on tour in January, so be sure to keep an eye out!
