Delta Rae practically bursts at the vocal seams, with flaxen-haired belter Brittany Holljes and darker, bluesier Elizabeth Hopkins trading lead vocals, calls, responses and harmonies with Holljes’ brothers Ian and Eric. Even drummer Mike McKee and bassist Grant Emerson sometimes enter the singalong, joining in on rousing, soul-stirring anthems that mix country, folk, blues, musical showstoppers and diva pop in varying proportions. Live, the singers often venture into strategic sections of the audience, so that listeners feel themselves at the vortex of a Sacred Harp revival. If Mumford & Sons ever made a run at American Idol, it would sound just like Delta Rae. -Jennifer Kelly
