Burlap to Cashmere released their self titled album in July of 2011 after a thirteen year hiatus. I wasn't a Christian thirteen years ago so I luckily haven't been waiting all that time for new music from them, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people have been, because this is definitely an album worth waiting for. The sounds on this album range from a folky Americana, to classical guitar, and the ever present Greek heritage of the band. All the songs have "storytelling" type lyrics reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkle. Steven Delopoulos has an awesome voice and singing style that can also be found on his solo albums "Me Died Blue" and "Straightjacket" which have a great coffee house type sound. Some of my favorite tracks are "Live in a Van" and "Santorini" off the "Burlap to Cashmere" album, and "Ancient Man" and "Treasures in Heaven" from the "Anybody Out There" album. "Ruin of the Beast" and "Daisies and Sandalwood" are standouts from Steven's Solo work.
