Anybody Out There? is Burlap to Cashmere's first full-length release, following Live at the Bitter End. Anybody Out There? is difficult to pigeonhole. The percussion is innovative, the guitar work outstanding. Sometimes considered the bad boys of Christian music, their lyrics are alternately poignant, passionate, light hearted, and always original. "Digee Dime," their signature song, is contagiously fun. "Eileen's Song" is soft and sweet, and "Basic Instructions," their Dove Award-nominated song, has point-blank lyrics with a Latin feel. The album slows a bit with the last few numbers, but overall, Anybody Out There? is one of the best alternative CCM albums of the '90s. - Melinda Hill - Allmusic.com
2003: Me Died Blue (Universal South Records)
Me Died Blue is a thoroughly modern record that uses the past as a way of investigating the present. Rock, folk, and country touches and pop hooks are used as way of getting the depth in this material across in the same way Paul Simon in his best material used Tin Pan Alley New York of the 1940s and '50s. Delopoulos charts a terrain of cracks, dead-end leads, broken spirits, mysterious sights and sounds, and whispered truths from the mouths of the least likely personages. Together they make up a crazy map of beauty, tragedy, and drama. His songs express simple truths in refracted ways and complex truths are revealed as quandaries that change lives. In sum, Delopoulos' musical terrain is where the song becomes the story itself, which in turn is truly worthy of the timelessness of song. Brilliant, Me Died Blue comes from a heart broken enough to be tough and wily, and as a result open and tender enough to say: "This is the door, come inside, that I may come out to meet you and sing." - Thomas Jurek All music.com
