CD Reviews: Delaney Davidson & Marlon Williams

The third instalment in a collaboration that reaped rewards with the 2012 NZ Country Album of the Year Award again reveals that Delaney Davidson and Marlon Williams like to have a little fun, twist the truth and see who wants to come along for the ride.

The 11 songs here, occasionally tender, often boisterous, come across as a series of late-night inspirations.

It's as if the crowd has dissipated, leaving the band members to flesh out their own whims (albeit to the cackle of a lone bar-fly), helped by an extended cast that includes vocalist Tami Neilson and steel guitar player John Egenes.

  • Delaney Davidson & Marlon Williams. Sad But True Vol 3: Juke-Box B-Sides. Lyttelton Records.
