I love bands like South Saturn Delta! Their newest creation "Drink From The Well" is a genuine gem. The opening track 'The Home Where I Come From' clearly shows what this band is all about: the blues, yes… but the blues in all its aspects. The song has something hypnotising but is really too short to my taste. But this album has much more to offer, and that would be: a lot of variation. 'Special Of The Day' is a fine example of New Orleans R&B. Dr. John comes to mind immediately. 'Cool Jazz Cats' and 'Dragon Clouds' are bluesy/jazzy songs, both performed very inventively and playfully. On 'Blues Cliché', the mixture of soul and funk is just perfect. Singer April Iorio does a fine job on every track, holding her own without any problem. Her sensual then again hoarse or cheerful voice is under perfect control all of the time. She managed to gather some fine musicians around her. The rhythm section (bass and drums) play very finely dosed, a thing every listener can appreciate, I would think. Furthermore, let us not underestimate Dave Fecca on guitar and John 'Tibs' Tiberi on piano and Hammond organ. They do their thing at the right moment and at the same time give room to April's singing talent when needed. "Drink From The Well" is an album which will certainly not go unnoticed. With this album South Saturn Delta were guests on one of America's oldest blues radio shows, King Biscuit Time (broadcast from Helena, Arkansas). No small feat!
