Country music legend Barry Saunders, of Warratahs fame, and Lyttelton bluesman Delaney Davidson met in a church. They were soundchecking for Marlon Williams and Tami Neilson’s the Churches Tour.
Barry was playing old gospel songs and Delaney his signature blues trance thump.
The connection was immediate.
After touring New Zealand together a number of times, they’ve recorded an album.
“It felt like something that just needed to happen. It felt right,” Saunders says.
“I was just throwing these words and ideas at Delaney and watching them bounce off his head.”
Davidson agrees, “Yes it was all pretty quick, these songs just started appearing out of the kitchen air and we were grabbing them as fast as we could.
“It has a realness and truth to it. An immediacy that is hard to find in music. Real songs about real things.”
