Delta Moon is proud
to announce we’ve inked a European
record deal with Music Boulevard
of Belgium, under their Blues Boulevard
imprint.
The first release, due out this fall
with distribution throughout Europe,
will be a compilation of songs drawn
from earlier Delta Moon CDs.
That will set up an all new album, which
we are working on now, to come out after
the first of the year, with a
simultaneous release in the United
States. We had a blast in Europe
this summer, and hope to spend a lot
more time touring there next year.

Delta Moon recorded the song in 2004 on
"Goin' Down South."
Bonnie's version, produced by the
legendary Johnny Sandlin, has plenty
