Delphinium CD And Its Amazing Blues Power

By Jerry Collins


Late bloomers in the contemporary music scene offer the most distinctive works, and there are a lot of them who have become popular. Great music is being made by people of all ages today, and age groups here do not relate since most things are available on YouTube and other sites. Some discovered playing late while others started young, stopped and then rediscovered their playing roots.

One of those who have had the longish journey rediscovered his musician self in an open mic hootenanny. From this, he reaccessed the world and made an album distinguished by mature thought and inspiration in Delphinium CD. People who have discovered Dean Maser will be pleasantly surprised by this CD.

Following the wandering spirit of blues minstrels, his life is partly defined by the famous song Wandering. He has taken the road of blues masters and Dylan who is now the new icon for literature that emerged out of an American musical tradition. Maser and his songs in the album also have a unique Grant Wood like voice that creates excellent visual imagery.

Delphinium continues his journey into a broad landscape, filled with the sere and open vistas of the Midwest and the spiritual rigors of the American West. The title of this new work was taken from the flower, which is considered a late bloomer, coming round in the high heat of summer. It has a broad geographical range, growing on meadows on the plain as well as alpine valleys.

His family belonged to a church, and it was the kind of music he made with guitars and ukeleles, and Kumbuyah is like a bad dream to him. All the years spent wandering the music world made the affliction apparent, and he has now lived that down and proceeded to discovering real spirituality. He says how high school made him drive for the works with a 3 song record that no one know will ever hear.

The artist blogs, too, and it is titled The Good Ancestor, a deep trawling of his musical roots and influences, imagined or otherwise. This is personal music history musicians should know. Thus this artist has fully awakened by taking in everything, and this is something reflected in this first full album.

He has also come into his own with the blues, and he and his band of traveling players named SoulShine are readying an eclectic album of this kind. Their influences range from Johnny Cash to ZZ Top, from Hendrix to Clapton, Dylan and BB King. And people should watch for it, because Maser and his group are seasoned musicians playing as a classic trio.

He recorded the album in studios in Boston and Minneapolis, with players coming from the Dakotas and Africa. His stand is all about making his influences come at as native to the album. Despite the eclecticism, all things that stand for the Blues are there, as defined by the first ditty ever dedicated to its source Old Man River.

Song titles include Heart Be True, Heroes, One Time and Strong Love. Others include the title track, Fall Apart and A Little Older, and you cannot help but notice their strong echoes of tradition. The Blues are all about tradition, about the travails of Biblical Christians and their replication in the American tradition, about love, life and death felt so deeply it opens up a spring of tears.
