Il chitarrista dei DEF LEPPARD, Phil Collen ha annunciato l’uscita del suo nuovo progetto blues chiamato DELTA DEEP.
La band è formata da Debbi Blackwell-Cook (Michael Buble, Luther Vandross), Forrest Robinson (India. Arie, Joe Sample & The Crusaders, TLC) e Robert DeLeo (STONE TEMPLE PILOTS) e pubblicheranno l’omonimo disco d’esordio il prossimo 23 giugno per la Mailboat Records. Tra gli ospiti figurano Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), David Coverdale (Whitesnake), Paul Cook (SEX PISTOLS, MANRAZE), e Simon Laffy (GIRL, MANRAZE).

Il primo singolo dei DELTA DEEP dal titolo “Private Number” vede alla voce il frontman David Coverdale, questo il commento di Collen sul nuovo progetto:

Blues was created out of something completely different from what we hear today. I grew up listening to rock music but then I found out it was all based on blues. Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, all of those guys… they got it from the blues. When I hear Debbi sing, I can hear the pain. She’s an incredibly beautiful 62-year-old black woman who has been through things and she can sing through her pain. Not everyone can do that and not everyone sounds like Debbi.
