An electrifying R&B singer from Athens, Ala., Anderson East relocated to Nashville after college; there, he spent a few years doing session and engineering work. Dave Cobb, who’s produced Jason Isbell’s music, heard East at a songwriter’s night. Together, they made his album Delilah, which is influenced by both R&B and country.
NPR Music called Delilah a ” …eclectic, fully formed debut album.” Daytrotter wrote “It’s one of those 10-song records that’s damned near perfect, traveling through the old, smoky bars of older days and down the twisted back roads of love.”
Alright, this tune is up to you. Everyone always wants to know if it’s a true story. I’ll let you be the judge. I will say there is usually something that makes a young and youthful boy drawn to things he should stay away from and the snow white daughter of a pastor just seems like good subject matter. Again, it’s all about love, my dear.
