Bromham, Del: Nine Yards

Del Bromham is the founding member of the band Stray. Nine Yards is a great showcase of Bromham's talent as a singer/songwriter. He plays the blues with a lot of heart and soul during this 14 track album.

Del Bromham was born in West London, and made his first public performance when he was only 13 years old! Bromham received a 'Lifetime Achievement in Music' award at The Newark Blues Festival, last September.

Bromham is a great bluesy singer whose voice sounds a little like Eric Clapton. His music is more bouncy than straight ahead slow blues.

Each tarck on the album is a good showcase for Bromham's vocal and guitar playing. "The Ballad of JD", the title track, "Nine Yards", "Everybody has to Sing the Blues", "Words", "Bring Them Home", "Smiling Face", with its wonderful acoustic guitar, "Bills", and the closer "Catch You When You Fall" are the best tracks on the album from my ears.

All in all a good introduction for me to this English blues legend. Give it a try if you are a blues fan that wants to hear a new voice and rhythm.
