Gifted with a fine beauty and sensitivity, singer, song writer, guitar player and ukulele performer Del Rey gives us her new job that that will certainly touch various sensitivities and more than a heart will be impressed by her performing elegance She is a true artist in the broadest and pure sense of the word and this last album confirms it Del Rey began to play guitar when she was only four years old Only aged thirteen she went with a friend to a live show at San Diego Folk Arts Auditorium in California, where she discovered the amazing beauty of popular music From that same day she was totally caught up by roots music Do you know who the artist she saw on that live show was? He was Tom Waits Since then on Del Rey began to listen and learn from Memphis Minnie, Mississippi Sheiks, Tampa Red, Bumble Bee Slim, Scrapper Blackwell and many other heroes of pre-war blues and urban blues, but also she listened to traditional jazz, piano stride, boogie woogie… Ah! And only aged fourteen, she shared stage with the great Sam Chatmon… The rest is a well known story This album is a small sound treasure that presents fourteen genuine acoustic songs where Del Rey sings and plays acoustic guitar and ukulele backed by Suzy Thompson violin, Hans Teuber sax and clarinet, Arthur Migliazza piano, Matt Weiner bass and Eric Eagle drums
