"Himalayan Moon" by Kevin Delaney

a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds

Kevin Delaney's voice and songs bring me back to the early 90s when I was listening to Lowen & Navarro, Del Amitri, Peter Himmelman, etc. That is not to say that he sounds just like them, but the resulting feeling is similar.

However, at times the Himmelman similarity is amazing; especially on "Dancing to Heaven". Both in voice and composition of the song.

His voice is pleasing, comforting. A nice match for the subtle, yet well written melodies. For the most part, I would call this folk because it's not hyper enough to be pop or rock. Maybe AAA would be a better classification…with an Americana twang.

If you like the above-mentioned artists, I think you'll find a new favorite in Kevin Delaney…plus you have to love a guy that thanks a dog in the liner notes.

Stand out songs: "The Clouds Are Not the Sky" is nice. "Vagabond King" could easily be a radio hit.
