"It blew me away." - Jerry Portnoy, harmonica ace with Eric Clapton

"deLay's burning with a brand new fire -- he boldly plunges into melodic and rhythmic territory that would send lesser players scurrying for the bunkers."- The Oregonian

Although he'd been recognized since the early 1980s as one of the greatest living blues harmonica players, it was this 1990 recording that established Paul deLay as a profoundly talented songwriter as well. The Other One's 11 originals---written after deLay's much-publicized drug bust, during his recovery from addiction and in the shadow of a pending trial--showcase deLay's exceptional songwriting talents, unique sense of humor, searing harmonica, brilliant arranging, and seamless band. Winner of the Cascade Blues Association's Muddy Award for Album of the Year.
