People who came late into the current music world have created the most memorable works, and many of them have moved on to become well known. All sorts of people, young and old, are creating the most pleasing sounds, age being ethereal in a world ruled by YouTube and online sites. Many were waylaid and came back to music, while others have come into the picture quite late.

One person who has wide experience of the world is the artist Dean Maser. His road was longer than others had, but he made his way back into making music after attending a hootenanny open mic session, which led to the making of Delphinium CD. Lucky are those who have accessed the album.

Following the wandering spirit of blues minstrels, his life is partly defined by the famous song Wandering. He has taken the road of blues masters and Dylan who is now the new icon for literature that emerged out of an American musical tradition. Maser and his songs in the album also have a unique Grant Wood like voice that creates excellent visual imagery.

Delphinium defines his path into a world that has become legendary in America, defined by spiritualism and the great green plains and the distant mountains of the West. This title comes from the Delphinium flower, which grows in the months of June and July, a late blooming flower. Its range, though, is vast, from the mountain valleys down to grassland meadows.

His family belonged to a church, and it was the kind of music he made with guitars and ukeleles, and Kumbuyah is like a bad dream to him. All the years spent wandering the music world made the affliction apparent, and he has now lived that down and proceeded to discovering real spirituality. He says how high school made him drive for the works with a 3 song record that no one know will ever hear.

The musician is also a blogger, and his blog is entitled The Good Ancestor, which is a rumination about roots ethereal or real. It is about the history of his music. The artist in him has finally taken everything in stride and this shows clearly in this first full length album he has made.

Maser also plays with a blues band, experienced musicians like himself and they have eclectically influenced new album coming. They call themselves SoulShine, and the album wander the discography of the idiom, from BB King to ZZ Top, from Cash to Dylan, Hendrix and Clapton. Blues fanatics should watch out for the work of this trio.

He recorded the album in studios in Boston and Minneapolis, with players coming from the Dakotas and Africa. His stand is all about making his influences come at as native to the album. Despite the eclecticism, all things that stand for the Blues are there, as defined by the first ditty ever dedicated to its source Old Man River.

The titles of songs on the list are Heroes, One Time, Strong Love and Heart Be True, among others. Also included are the title track, Easy to Bleed and Gypsy Woman, songs with strong reminders of blues traditions. Because that is what is all about, of Christians suffering things straight out of Bible history, about things so deep that the thought of them creates a well of tears.
