Track Listing:
“Utterly infectious…. Good God, it makes you throb, and think.” — Tom Clarke, Elmore
“A beautiful record.” – César, Blues Again (France)
“So glad to have you back, Delta Moon, and man you have delivered an outstanding Blues album in your very own inimitable style. Never one to follow the mainstream but rather follow your Southern Roots with a sound laden with stunning guitar and vocals. The cover of Son House’s “Death Letter” moved my soul and made me realise just why l and countless others can’t get enough of Delta Moon. Your songs are outstanding and at times very pointed and cutting back the layers of our lives exposing what we chose to ignore. All round the orchestration is brilliant as is the charts and phrasing. There is no filler here as every song can stand alone and shine, this is somewhat rare in this day and age as many albums have that track or two that just doesn’t cut the mustard. Congratulations guys on an outstanding album that will certainly feature highly on favourites lists at the end of the year.” – Peter Merrett, PBS106.7 Melbourne, Australia
Track Listing:
“If you’re looking for exquisite playing and fine songcraft, you’ll find it on Delta Moon’s Low Down.” – Living Blues (USA)
“Their best album.” – Downbeat (USA)
“Low Down takes the next step towards cementing Delta Moon’s legacy as one of America’s best roots-rock outfits.” – Blues Music Magazine (USA)
“A highly recommended album for fans of well written and performed contemporary blues.” – Blues Matters (UK)
“One of the catchiest albums that I have received for a long time, full of excellent music, where each piece has its own charm and the instrumentation is subtle and tasteful, but also remains raw and original. Really an album of a piece.” – BluesNews (Switzerland)
“The slide-work of the two guitarists shimmers, always a highlight when they launch into solos. As long as there are such bands, the blues will never die!” – Weltmusik-Magazin (Germany)
“The dynamic dual slide guitarists Tom Gray and his “blues brother” Mark Johnson once again shatter perceptions of what the music is and what it can become. Their 10th album, Low Down … enervates the genre as a timeless, evolving cultural treasure.” – Blues Festival Guide (USA)
“As soon as l had listened to the entire album l sat back and all l could say was ‘Wow, wow, wow’. Damn, why hadn’t we heard of this powerhouse group before now? Great songwriting and incredible playing from a more than talented outfit.” – Peter Merrett, PBS106.7 (Melbourne, Australia)
“Fans the world over know that each and every time the Atlanta-based band rises up and gets Low Down on a new album, they’re in for a special ride. Tail draggin’, whip-snappin’, blues, roots, you name it.” – Elmore Magazine (USA)
“Delta Moon has developed over the years a very unique sound based as much on the two slide guitars as on the memorable voice of Tom Gray. On Low Down one can again find examples of why I think this band is one of the most important bands today.” – Wasser-Prawda (Germany)

Track Listing:
Red Parlor Records
“With guitarists Tom Gray and Mark Johnson playing mean slide guitars, Delta Moon is deep blues with a fury. The band’s grooves are catchy and cool, and the setlist of mostly originals showcases fine songwriting. Hot stuff!” – Vintage Guitar
“The slide guitars of Tom Gray and Mark Johnson impressively slash or wend through textural thickets of rhythm. Gray’s a top-grade songwriter, spinning memorable melodies and lyrics about restlessness and loneliness that he sings with shadowy vividness.” – Downbeat
“The consistent mood and atmosphere created here makes this 11-song record a pleasure each time it plays. With clever songwriting, stripped down arrangements, and Gray’s toughened vocals, Delta Moon has crafted a solid album.” – Blues Revue
“Even after five albums over the past eight years, it seems that the group is just starting to explore the possibilities inherent in their blues-based Southern genre. It’s a style that could be confining, but in their hands, never is.” – All Music Guide
“Delta Moon’s songs fascinate like the vestiges of a shotgun shack, pitted planks that retain the essence of what thrived way, way back. This Atlanta-based quartet wrings slippery, piquant juice from yesteryear’s Mississippi blues and enhances it with dual slide guitars and incredibly catchy beats. In what might seem a crowded field, they’re one of a kind,” – Hittin’ the Note
Track Listing:
Release date: July 31, 2007
“Tom Gray and Mark Johnson are the rusty, banged up Cadillacs of the slide guitar, side by side coughing up smoke and spitting backwoods dirt, but unswerving in their precision and singular style.” – Hittin’ the Note
“Songwriter/guitarist Tom Gray’s grainy, flinty voice works perfectly with the riff-driven, Southern swamp sound that dominates the band’s fifth release, Clear Blue Flame.” – Blues Revue
“Gray and Johnson’s double-slide style, inspired by a pairing of David Lindley and Ry Cooder, works to perfection on Flame.” – Chicago Sun-Times

Release date: May 31, 2003
“One of the best albums of the year.” – King Biscuit Time
“Their exposive mix of Delta blues, R&B, boogie-woogie, gospel, and blues-rock is innovative and daring. But most striking is the way their slide guitars interlock in each song, resulting in a swampy, loose-limbed sound that buzzes with passion.” – Blues Revue
“Listening to Delta Moon on CD is never going to come close to their wonderful live performances, but this CD comes pretty close. If you thought blues was about motionless musicians with anguished expressions belting out tired old 12 bars, shuffles, or play-by-numbers blues rock, then think again. This is a collection of well arranged rootsy songs played by a band whose clear enjoyment in playing is infectious.” – Blues Matters! (UK)
“The far-reaching influences, the personal experiences, and the unflinching willingness – not to mention uncanny ability – to completely stretch the blues, make Delta Moon’s records at once exciting and sincere.” – Hittin’ the Note
Track Listing:
Release date: March 22, 2002
“Another stellar newcomer to the national music scene … Delta Moon is poised for greatness, with nothing but a lot of opportunity and a very bright future ahead of them.” – Hittin’ the Note
“This is an excellent-sounding album with lots of production punch, soulful performances, and spirited playing. Best of show: a rumble through Fred McDowell’s ‘Shake ‘Em On Down’ and Gray’s greasy ‘House of Dolls.'” – Blues Revue
“A forehead-slappingly fantastic combo that wipes the floor with most of the competition.” – The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Since their beginnings in the clubs and coffeehouses around Atlanta about 20 years ago, Delta Moon have consistently enthralled audiences with a double-barreled mix of bottleneck slide and lap steel guitar and tunes that are both topical and thought-provoking. That winning mix continues with this pleasing collection of five originals and six freshly reworked covers.”
— Marty Gunther, Blues Blast Magazine
“Delta Moon return with another release, their tenth so far, full of their usual solid blues edge and the striking beauty of a pair of twin slide-guitar frontmen, Tom Gray and Mark Johnson, a feature that always gives this Atlanta band something of a unique kickass feel and sound. Starting off with the title track and its intriguing hymn-like rhythm through a batch of songs reflecting the blues background and interests of this soulful southern, Georgia outfit. Tom Gray’s songwriting is, as ever, strong and powerfully rooted stuff.”
— Iain Patience, Elmore Magazine
“What Atlanta’s Delta Moon plays is the ultimate essence of American music. If a sample had to be sent to intergalactic civilizations, it would not be necessary to make a compilation — just the latest album from this band, Babylon is Falling.”
— Ondřej Bezr, Lidovky (Czech Republic)
“A very satisfying album with no weak tracks.”
— John Mitchell, Blues in Britain (UK)
“Succulently dense Southern swampy roots music that is full of charm and delight. Once the ‘needle hits the groove’ you begin to realise, this is not your average blues band…. Greatly endorsed!”
— Brian Harmon, Blues in the South (UK)
“These Atlanta swamp blues rockers sound like they brought their sound right from the chain gang this time out. Hard hitting, indigenous sounds that show respect for heritage, this takes it down home, takes it to church then takes it out to the back 40 where it gets to run free. Wild stuff that connects throughout.”
— Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“Strong original tunes that mix blues with Southern rock and soul, a savvy set of covers, and the formidable twin-slide guitar attack of Tom Gray and Mark Johnson.”
— Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes
“The titans of tone deliver a set of infectious grooves faced with a double-barreled shot of greasy bottleneck slide guitar and lap steel, along with thought-provoking lyrics.”
— Blues Festival Guide
“Delta Moon, Delta Moon, Delta Moon, welcome back and thank you. Yes, thank you for giving us Babylon Is Falling. This is just what we needed to hear.”
— Peter Merrett, PBS106.7, Melbourne, Australia
