South of Delia is the seventh solo album by American folk singer-songwriter Richard Shindell. South of Delia is a cover album. Covers are not new to Shindell. Besides recording a few on his previous solo albums, he was also one third of the folk supergroup / cover band Cry Cry Cry (along with Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky). On South of Delia, Shindell covers songs from several songwriting legends, including Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, as well as some from younger up-and-coming writer/performers, such as Jeffrey Foucault and Josh Ritter.

Although the official release date is not until May 10 2007, pre-orders are estimated to be shipped on March 27. [1][2]

The title "South of Delia" comes from a line in the Josh Ritter song, "Lawrence, KS". The song was previously recorded by Ritter for his 2001 album, Golden Age of Radio.[3]
