Phil Collen from the legendary rock band Def Leppard formed the blues phenomenon “Delta Deep” in 2012. Featuring amazing artists Robert Deleo (Stone Temple Pilots), Forrest Robinson (Joe Sample/Crusaders), and fabulous singer and theatrical performer Debbi Blackwell-Cook (Michael Buble/Gregory Hines). East Coast Live is a fourteen track released last fourteen track album released January 26 via Frontiers Records and recorded live at Daryl’s House Club in New York. What a smart start for the show! Debbi’s attracted all the audience by saying “we wanna see movement, we wanna see some attitude, we wanna see fun”, and then continues; “We don’t want to entertain. We want to party together!” and then an amazing opener for the show by Led Zeppelin‘s hit, Black Dog! This is just, WOW!

As you can see, all the mentioned iconic artists above are from different musical backgrounds and this is the phenomenon ladies and gentlemen! A combination of blues, soul, R&B, rock’n’roll with powerful heavy guitar soloing. So while listening to the album you won’t even notice which track are you on, because it’s really goes smoothly and you just follow the tunes.

A raw energy is dominant here especially it’s a bit challenge for the band to record the album live in from one show, but really they presented an amazing band harmony and tightness in front of the audience.

Most of the tracks will give the ultimate eargasm, but some you’ll keep it on repeat for a while, like; Bless These Blues, Bang The Lid, Whiskey, Black Coffee, and Treat Her Like Candy. They also paid a nice tribute for Deep Purple’s Mistreated.

There’s no enough words to mention for this amazing live record. Go now and find this unique East Coast Live on Amazon through here.

I have noticed most of hard rock/heavy metal guitarists when they go into raw blues sound guitar riff they give you an amazing catchy riff, that hardly gets out of your ears! The lyric video is a combination between live footage and some animated elements for the lyrics. Bless These Blues is a mix of rock n’ roll and soul combined with the blues to give you the ultimate groove.

Mainly, the vocal follows the guitar riffs along with the whole song. It starts with Phil Collen and later join Debbi Blackwell-Cook on next verses. The song delivers a nice harmonic solo and that was for sure expected from outstanding guitarist like Phil Collen.

I’d like to mention that I enjoyed the song mixing too, I can hear all instruments clearly with suitable leveling, which gives you the ultimate eargasm.

The band is releasing their new album “East Coast Live” in January 26, 2018 via Frontiers Music Srl – pre-order. The All Star Group to perform at select dates of G3 tour featuring Joe Satriani, John Petrucci and Phil Collen.
