Delia Bell

With her Texas drawl and straight-from-the-soil sensibilities, Delia Bell has helped to protect the singing varieties of the American West. Performing with Oklahoma’s “grand older guy of bluegrass,” Expenses Give, since 1959, Bell is constantly on the reverberate the noises of Americana through her shows and recordings. Bell and Give reached their apex, through the 1980s, if they documented three unforgettable albums for the Rounder label that presented musical accompaniment and vocal harmonies by users from the Johnson Hill Kids, dobro ace Roger Williams, and Del and Jerry McCoury. Music from your three albums had been collected within the best-of album Thinking in 1989.
