“Glen Delpit, High Water Everywhere (Dharma Brand Records) - Long-time Fresno favorite Glen Delpit returns with High Water Everywhere, his fourth solo effort. Delpit works from an acoustic and folk base, singing the gambler's blues.
High Water Everywhere is filled with images of down-on-their-luck gamblers, itinerant preachers, and burning rain. Yet I like the album best on songs like "Dark Carnival," "Shifting Sands," and "There's a Road," in which Delpit works from his story-telling strengths.
High Water Everywhere is more in the realm of Mark Knopfler than Robert Johnson - more emphasis on guitars than exorcism of past demons.
With his use of sound bites from old films, Delpit seeks to bridge the past with the present. Watch out for High Water Everywhere.
