DELIVERANCE: Jimmy Announces Future
The Future of Deliverance
Greetings Deliverance Fans!
Happy New Year from the Deliverance Camp! We trust that this new year is off to a Great Start for all of you…
Well, we were going to save some of our news, but as with most things nowadays you can’t keep a secret.
Deliverance is in pre-production for a new studio album. And, with the writing and creative always comes some change. I have always took great care to preserve the Deliverance Brand and make sure to not repeat the past for sake of demand, record company requests or plainly stated: Laziness!!! To try and create something that will appeal to all eras of fans for Deliverance without alienating some has always been a difficult task at best! Some would say impossible. But, I have never believed that! All that I can tell you about this new album is it is not what you are expecting! Some think it will lean one way or another, some think it will have no edge! Some propose it will be like mid era Deliverance, while others believe a true return to the synergy that made Deliverance to be put on the map! The word synergy is a great descriptive. (Being that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!) So, naysayers and doubters can speak and slag, and people that hope for a return to mid era can hope. But I like to try and present something different with each album, while retaining that inevitable crunch guitar sound and intricate picking style that I implemented back in 1985 with Deliverance. So, you will judge for yourself when it is “delivered”…
I did implement a change of players for 2024. For no other reason than ensuring that the conviction of the player is felt in every note and riff played. Those of you know I am fond of working with many different players throughout the years, so none of these things should come as a shock or surprise. But I do want to say we wish nothing but the absolute best and total blessings for our members that are no longer with us. They have tremendous talent that will always be shown in every creative aspect they pursue.
So to you, the Deliverance Fans, old and new. This will be a great year with shows and a new album release. I look forward to seeing you all on the road and to you all enjoying the newest offerings that will be presented. And, there are some surprises that I think you will be pleased with that we will announce very soon…
So, hang onto your hats! The ride is gonna get bumpy, but will be well worth the trip…
