There’s no guilt associated with my cutting and pasting a portion of the Delta Spirit album bio below to describe the reasons that we think Ode To Sunshine is one of the finest albums to have been released during the 365 days of 2007. Kindly, I was asked to write the piece that became the San Diego band’s official record bio earlier in the year and spending hours with a rough copy of the album – still tacked onto the beginning of one of the songs was a false start where one of the band members freaks out over a spider – gave me the time to appreciate the five-piece for what it is and what it can be. There is more alive in each of these five soulful dudes than there is alive in a plastic ball pit full of innocent little kids at a carnival. They feel free to dream big, to anger over injustices and inequalities and they rejoice in all of the bright, warming things that happen on more of a regular basis than most cynics or optimists give credit to. They’ll give you their own music and they’ll trade you for an album of a live Sam Cooke show that they insist you must hear. It’s music that can change you in the nicest ways, make you a little happier, a little more alive. Cooke sings, “Don’t fight it, baby, feel it,” hence we have Delta Spirit’s Ode To Sunshine. – Daytrotter
