South of Delia

1

South of Delia is the seventh solo album by American folk singer-songwriter Richard Shindell. South of Delia is a cover album. Although he himself is sometimes described as a "songwriter's songwriter," covers are not new to Shindell. In addition to recording a few on his previous solo albums, he was also one third of the folk supergroup / cover band Cry Cry Cry (along with Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky). On South of Delia, Shindell covers songs from several songwriting legends, including Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, as well as some from younger up-and-coming writer/performers, such as Jeffrey Foucault and Josh Ritter. Although the official release date was May 10, 2007, pre-orders began shipping in late March. The album began to appear on a number of radio airplay charts prior to its official release (see below). The title "South of Delia" comes from a line in the Josh Ritter song, "Lawrence, KS". The song was previously recorded by Ritter for his 2001 album, Golden Age of Radio.
