Killer Joe Delia and his Thieves first full length album, dubbed “Smoke and Mirrors”, is mostly original songs, rich in local roots, and full of guest talent treats.

The treats? Nancy Atlas (The Hamptons’ favorite songstress), Tony Garnier (Bob Dylan’s bassist), and Max Weinberg (Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band) guest on a couple of cuts each. The other, mostly unheard, grammy-winning talent is Cynthia Daniels, who produced and mixed the album at her MonkMusic Studios in East Hampton, NY, and suggested some hit-making tweaks. Larry Alexander (another grammy winner) recorded some tracks as well.

It’s probably Joe Delia’s history (two gold and one platinum record) that draw artists like these to work with him. His talents have been recognized by stars like Bruce Springsteen who he played with as recently as November 2011 for decades. He’s known for his song writing skills and Smoke and Mirrors has many tracks that prove it. Philip Cody (famous for such sweet pop hits like “Laughter in the Rain”) co
