Album Notes

Guitarist Gabriel Delta, who happily moved from Buenos Aires to Italy, successfully carries on his mission of spreading the blues in the two worlds. In Roots, his tenth CD released in his name, he choose a mainly acoustic dimension.
The Red Rooster goes back to the essentiality of the Delta: solo slide guitar and nicotined voice. Intricate bottleneck passages mark the urgency of I Can’t Be Satisfied, while the much-covered Kansas City, dedicated to the old blues town that never goes to sleep, is smooth and in-the-face. When Gabriel tries performing a country version of Stormy Monday, the most revered urban blues song, he exudes so much intensity and humor that his seizing his electric guitar and play it at full volume is far behind. He seems to play the part of a hobo who found an unknown Mississippi John Hurt score in a bottle at a Nashville bar.
In the original song Only With My Soul Gabriel confesses he was born further south than Mississippi. It does not matter. Expressiveness, technique and art have already planted their roots in his soul, and he shows to have as much charisma and finesse as the best craftsmen of the genre.

It's not only a cd of Blues but also a way for helping the Native Comunities of my country.
