'Delta Deep' Delivers New Blues Rock Project by Def Leppard's Lead Guitarist Phil Collen

Founded in 2012, Delta Deep features Collen and some major music talents, including soulful vocalist Debbi Blackwell-Cook, drummer Forrest Robinson, known for his work with Indie.Arie, and Stone Temple Pilot's bassist Robert DeLeo.

When asked about what made him decide to do a blues project, Collen replies, "Blues was created out of something 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, Jimmy Hendrix, all of those guys... they got it from the blues."
An obvious labor of love, Delta Deep's self-titled debut features 11 original songs and covers with vocals by Collen and Blackwell-Cook and special guest artists, all produced by Collen.
