Delta Rae – If I Loved You
For all of you folk lovers, Delta Rae might be one of your new favorite bands. I posted their cover of Kanye West’s “All of the Lights” back in the day and it got rave reviews. This song is more traditional folky music, but it’s incredibly solid. The thing about Delta Rae is that if you’re not a fan of folk music, you could potentially hate them. Reason being, they’ve got that southern soul feel that might seem off-putting to those who don’t dabble with their genre. To fans of folk music, though, they have crafted a sound so full and true to themselves that it’s almost incredible what a young and relatively new band they are. Here’s an example of a song they released as part of their “gRAEt Mondays” series that shows a bit of their bite intertwined with their innocent folk image. They’re certainly making a name for themselves, and if they continue on this path toward showing a bit more edge, I could certainly see them making incredibly big strides in the future.
