The Del-Lords - Poem Of The River

Let's head back to 1988 and the sadly forgotten band The Del-Lords. They did some pretty good albums in their time, but success eluded them as it does so many good artists. Lead singer and songwriter Scott Kempner used to be the rhythm guitarist in The Dictators before forming The Del-Lords. When the latter disbanded Kempner went back to The Dictators, and last year even The Del-Lords got back together, so who knows - we may hear more great stuff from them. But for now, let's hear the absolutely beautiful "Poem Of The River", a track off their third album Based On A True Story (1988), featuring none other than Pat Benatar on backing vocals.
