Finally, Something Different

"In short, 'Living Deliberately' pleasantly surprised me. It sounds to me that Del Suggs has borrowed the best from the many music genres around the area and mixed them all up in this diverse CD. I especially like the fourth track, 'High Above the Hills of Sligo', as it is just haunting."
Fabulously diverse!

"The latest release from indie artist Del Suggs is one that shouldn't be missed by any listener of any genre of music. Living Deliberately is so diverse in style and range. The title track offers up everyday observations about life which ring true for us all. "Desperately Seeking Grace" echoes the frustrations of trying to get it right time after time - who can't relate to that? Zip into the jumping "Bayou Josie" and just TRY not to tap your feet. The Celtic tinged "High Above the Hills of Sligo" is haunting with the inclusion of bagpipes without being too heavy. Then, there's a perfect cover of Gram Parsons' "Brass Buttons." All in all, the disc is very pleasing and includes great guest musicians and vocalists such as Pierce Pettis, Mimi Hearn, Scott Long and guitar virtuoso Bill Wharton just to name a few. Buy copies for your friends as well. They'll thank you."
