Del Shannon, born Charles Weedon Westover in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA on December 30, 1934, was an iconic American Rock'n Roll and Country musician. He gained worldwide recognition during the 1960s as a talented singer, guitarist, and songwriter. In the 1980s, he ventured into Country and Western music and collaborated with renowned artists such as Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Sadly, Shannon's personal struggles led him to take his own life with a .22 caliber rifle in his home in Santa Clarita, California on February 8, 1990.

Despite his tragic end, Del Shannon left an indelible mark on the music industry. His contributions were recognized when he was posthumously inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 as a performer.

Love is everyday magic. That’s the impression you get listening to Water, the new album by Chicago trio Dehd. Veterans of Chicago’s increasingly fruitful DIY scene Jason Balla ( Ne-Hi and Earring) Emily Kempf (Vail and formerly with Lala Lala) and drummer Eric McGrady share a strange and inexplicable chemistry. Love rises up into the atmosphere like steam off a summer sidewalk and makes you wild. Love breaks your heart and you consider yourself lucky for it. Like water itself, it surrounds us, it supports us; it’s what we’re made of. It takes the shape of its container. The music is hazy and reverb-drenched, a scuzzy and hyped-up take on surf rock that could only come from the Third Coast. It’s all animated by the red-lining feel-good spirit of the Velvet Underground’s Loadedand the breezy melodicism of C86-era indie rock, with a dash of the Cramps’ spooky-hop bop courtesy of McGrady’s locomotive drumming.It’s a clear-eyed look at the wild nature of everyday life that’s been spun up in sugary sweet melodies and scratched-crystal sounds. More than anything, it’s the embodiment of Dehd’s m.o. from the start: As Kempf puts it, “Work with what you have and make it magical.”
