About Me

TO BUY THE WHOLE "TEN MILE BAYOU" CD JUST CLICK ON YHE LINK UNDER BAND WEBSITE.................. Here's what Mark Jordan from Memphis's Commercial Appeal Newspaper had to say about the new CD(1-18-08)...Kings of the Delta -- has fashioned such a mature, fully developed sound out of nowhere on this debut disc is remarkable. The disc launches into the tent revival of "Down In the Water." Later the ensemble bests Santana on the salsa-driven "Barcus Salsa," which is then followed by "Grace Extended," which plays like a lost Curtis Mayfield masterpiece ; Ten Mile Bayou is an impressive coronation. . Mark Jordan(Commercial Appeal Playbook)................................................... ............................................................ .......................................... The Kings were recently awarded the EMERGING ARTIST AWARD at the Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival AKA "King Biscuit". The KOTD have been featured many times on Memphis Rock Station ROCK103 and 104.5 the River. Also they've played the Main Street Music Festival in El Dorado AR and Esperanza Bonanza Music and BBQ fest in Marion AR..........................For Private Partys or Booking Call 901-647-2220
