American Blonde to Release DELTA HOME EP, Join Candlebox Tour

AMERICAN BLONDE's long-awaited October 2 release, DELTA HOME, opens with the gritty, revenge-filled

and instantly sets a high bar for this six-song collection. It's one that this tight-knit five-piece unit of Mississippi natives tops effortlessly. Fronted by sisters Nata and Tinka Morris, the group features Nata (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Tinka (vocals, drums, percussion), Pete Horne (lead and rhythm guitar), Zach Dickerson (lead and rhythm guitar), and Will Garrett (bass, background vocals). Collectively, the players bring together diverse influences (The Eagles, Paul Gilbert, Carole King, Dave Grohl, Lynyrd Skynyrd) and varied life experiences to create a unique sonic tapestry of Delta Blues-infused Southern Country Rock.

American Country Network premiered the fast-paced, black-and-white 'Delta Home' music video last week. The explosive soundtrack has fans clamoring for the upcoming EP that is rooted in authenticity and reinvention.

Tracklist

1. Mississippi Moonshine (N. Morris, C. Downs)

2. Delta Home (N. Morris, C. Morris, M. Mulch)

3. Both Sides Of The Track (L. Wright, W. Lunsford)

4. Kiss Me Like The World Is Ending (N. Morris, J. Nash)

5. Happy (N. Morris, J. Nash)

6. Undertaker (N. Morris, J. Nash)

'Both Sides Of The Track' is the only outside song on DELTA HOME. Written by the award-winning duo, The Young Fables, it explores the challenges one faces when chasing their dreams. 'Kiss Me Like The World Is Ending' is as sultry and steamy as the dog days of August, with a Bonnie Raitt-esque feel - this cut gives every player a chance to shine. 'Happy' is an anthem for anyone who gives their best even when they feel like they have nothing left to give - it's punchy, proud, and completely compelling. 'Undertaker' offers a Rock twist on heartache with scorching lyrics, shredding guitars, and a drum line that lands like a world champion's right hook. DELTA HOME is American Blonde's most ambitious project to date, helmed by Grammy-nominee and producer Lincoln Parish (Cage The Elephant). It was recorded at Sienna Studios Nashville and Delta State University (Cleveland, MS). The original artwork for the EP was painted by Pete Horne, one of the group's lead guitarists.

'It is beyond anything we've done before,' Tinka observes. 'When you're friends who play together all the time – in the studio and onstage - you're not afraid to challenge each other or push someone for their best. The energy is magical,' she adds.

In celebration of DELTA HOME's release, American Blonde will join multi-platinum rockers Candlebox for select October shows on their Can't Quit You Tour.
