Delta Generators Live at the Greek
On their new third release "Get on the Horse", Delta Generators have stepped up everything from songwriting to production. This album was mixed by famed Grammy winning producer David Z. (Prince, Eric Clapton, Jonny Lang, Buddy Guy, Etta James, Gov't Mule etc.). The album was then mastered by Dave McNair (David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Los Lobos, Derek Trucks etc.). "Get on the Horse" was recorded just like every other DG album, live in the studio, with a few overdubs after the fact. The songs range from roots rock to slow blues, Americana to funky soul. This album was funded by DG fans through PledgeMusic.com. "Get on the Horse" has already been nominated for "2014 BLUES ALBUM OF THE YEAR" by the Independent Music Awards!
