Click to listen to Delta Rae's album 'Carry the Fire'

For the past couple of years, North Carolina's Delta Rae has crafted their unique blend of blue-eyed soul and Americana rock from a house in the woods. The result is the six-piece band's debut album, Carry the Fire, which will be released on June 19th. Rich four-part harmonies fill the album, especially evident on lush tracks like "If I Loved You" and "Morning Comes." The anthemic "Bottom of the River" is a ground-rattling fixture of the band's energetic live set, and a lively example of their Southern roots.

Carry the Fire is out on June 19th on Sire, and you can stream it exclusively, in its entirety, here.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
