It's a curious affair when a band with two solid records to its name decides to self-title its third, as Delta Spirit has just done. Whatever the motivation, the band seems to want the songs to speak for themselves, without the aid of extra inscription on the spine. Its third record will be the first that many have heard, but if Delta Spirit continues to put out collections such as these — full of sincere, often anthemic heartland rock with a sunny Cali streak — it won't be the last.
Littlest Middle Brother: Lead singer Matthew Vasquez is part of the supergroup Middle Brother, along with Deer Tick's John McCauley and Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith.
