This was Delaney's final solo album before his death, and it's a great collection. His voice was much rougher and deeper compared to his early work, but that's not a bad thing at all. His vocals are very raw, soulful and passionate, and his guitar work is typically unique and inspired. The backing musicians are very solid and serve the songs well. The title is describing the music offered here as anything "new" really, but used to describe Delaney's soulful blend of blues & gospel and his unique style. His music always seemed to pour out of him with such raw expression, and this album illustrates that beautifully. Delaney had two more solo albums completed before his death, one of which the late Jerry Wexler supposedly told him was the best work he's ever done. This is a great album, so everyone to buy a copy and support his releases. Hopefully enough fans will buy this so that those other two albums will be released in the near future. Actually, with all apologies to Delaney, this CD is not a new kind of Blues, rather it's the same old Blues that Delaney Bramlett has always done. And this is a good thing. The old cliche goes that you can take the boy out of Mississippi but you can't take Mississippi out of the boy. Delaney Bramlett proves that adage. The songs are great, the musicians are superb and Delaney Bramlett still has that soulful voice. Whether you're an old fan or new, give this one a spin. Enjoy!

A legitimate question is where Eric Clapton's career would have gone had he not run into Delaney Bramlett and his then-wife Bonnie after the end of Blind Faith and his unfulfilled desire to join The Band and struck up a friendship with the both would have started. Said Delaney, the protagonist of the disc at hand, gave Clapton the support to go solo and was mainly responsible for giving the good Eric the necessary self-confidence to try it as a full-time singer of his pieces. Bramlett not only produced "Eric Clapton" (1970), but also put together the full band for that album, along with Leon Russell. That being said, Delaney also had his own career including wife as Delaney & Bonnie, who released several strong albums from 1969 to the mid-70s. From the 1980s to the end of the 1990s, things got pretty quiet around the old man for a long time, until he gradually came back into action at the end of the 1990s. His last studio album to date is called A NEW KIND OF BLUES and was released in 2007. Basically, one can state that Bramlett's style has hardly changed even about 40 years after his first album. Why should it? A NEW KIND OF BLUES still arrives fresh and inspired, and with a lot of feeling in the living room. Just listen to a track like "Pontotoc" that has everything that Delaney Bramlett is about. A solid, warm sound, extremely entertaining songwriting, a pleasantly aged and rough voice that is complimented by cleverly placed female background vocals. Delaney Bramlett is in truly amazingly strong form on A NEW KIND OF BLUES and the album is definitely a quality addition to any collection that also appreciates the white American blues.
