“These are Sam Cooke-caliber love songs…He is
a spectacular talent, and releases like this one are
as thrilling as they come.”—Sean Moeller,
Daytrotter
“His voice is full of gravely soul, easily tackling
both piano ballads and foot-stompers, going headto-head with a gospel chorus thanks to a killer
range and often heartbreaking lyrics.”
—Rolling Stone Country, “20 Reasons to Love
This Year”
“It’s one of those 10-song records that’s damned
near perfect, traveling through the old, smoky
bars of older days and down the twisted back
roads of love.”—Paste
Anderson East’s highly anticipated full-length debut, Delilah, will be released July 10 on Low
Country Sound/Elektra Records (the first release on producer Dave Cobb’s new imprint).
Already receiving widespread attention, the first single “Satisfy Me” has been added at over 20
AAA stations ahead of its official add date, including L.A.’s KCSN, Philadelphia’s WXPN,
Nashville’s WRLT and Kansas City’s KTBG.
Additionally, a live video of the single recently premiered at NPR Music and can now be
viewed/shared here. Of the song and video, NPR Music’s Ann Powers praises, “…East delivers a
collar-grabbing performance that’s both nuanced and passionate…Writing his own version of the
resurrected rhythm and blues sound…East champions sweat, sweet emotion and getting a little
dirty. It’s a classic approach that feels real, and is bound to bring him success.” The live
rendition of the song—which was filmed and recorded at Muscle Shoals’ legendary Fame
Studios—is featured on The Muscle Shoals Sessions: Live from Fame—a new five-song EP from
Anderson, which is now available exclusively at Spotify. Listen to the full EP here.
Anderson is currently in the midst of an extensive tour, including dates with Brandi Carlile and
the John Butler Trio as well as newly confirmed fall shows with The Lone Bellow. See below for
complete details. Of his recent performance at Triple A Radio’s NON-COMMvention, Dan
DeLuca of the Philadelphia Inquirer praises, “Anderson East was an eye opener. I assumed the
Alabama singer was a roots-rock-country singer, from bills I’d seen his name on. But he is in
fact a wicked soul wailer with a huge voice, a skinny white guy with a raspy, weathered sound
coming out his body that defied expectation. Definitely worthy of further investigation.”
Of Anderson, producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell), comments, “You don’t hear
voices like that everyday. The first time I saw him was at the Bluebird in Nashville—he started
to sing and shut the place down. And he had the charm and wit to completely hold the audience
in the palm of his hand. When I got the chance to have my imprint LCS, he was the first person I
wanted to sign. When he sings you can hear the soil and landscape of great southern soul in his
voice and he’s a amazing writer as well.”
