Lucky Guy

The latest album from New Zealand's Delaney Davidson is an uncharacteristically contained and succinct release. Used to the unavoidable sprawl of time and the ramble of his tours, Davidson avoids the technique of collation, curation and compilation - that is what we have become used to from him. Once likened to a rat whose teeth would grow up through its own skull if it didn't gnaw all day, Delaney's restless creativity manages here to capitalise on what he calls the "engine room" behind a lot of the bands and albums he has worked on recently. The rhythm section of Ben Woolley and Joe McCallum (Tami Neilson), feature strongly in the limelight here with Davidson as a Trio, fleshing out the songs and working them as a only a Trio can. This brings a new life and sinuous muscle to Davidson's presentation of his latest batch: "It was always us looking at each other in the different projects, stages, albums, and rehearsal rooms, I said to the guys lets make a Band. So we worked together until things blew apart again. "Lucky Guy" was recorded in that period." The songs reflect life as a musician, leaving a lot of the storytelling behind for real life observation. Suburban soul pop classic "You Don't Want Me Around" and Friday night rhythm and blues flavours of "Tell It To You" sit next to maudlin glam travel ballads "Eastbound" and "Wait". For fans of: Tom Waits, Scott H Biram, Bob Dylan, Nick Cave.
