Steel Bridge Songfest’s Delaney Davidson Celebrates the Workers Rebuilding Door County’s Unique Holiday “Music” Motel in “Blackie’s Men”
Posted on 22. Jun, 2009 by Stephen Kastner in Musicians
One of the songs created in the Construction Zone and performed at the Steel Bridge Songfest lauds the workers reconstructing the Holiday Motel. New Zealander, Delaney Davidson was impressed with them, “…doing the impossible again. Blackie’s men.”
Delaney Davidson is joined here by Eric McFadden on guitar, Jeff Hammes on bass and Wally Ingram on drums.
“I am always amazed at where influence shows its head. Sometimes Dusty Springfield turns up and I never even listened to her, sometimes the Beach Boys, sometimes The Beatles, Hank Williams – its all the beautiful world of music,” says Delaney. “Tom Waits blew my teenage mind with his unabashed sentimentality, then later with his dark vision, and still later with his lifestyle. He seems to manage it well. But mostly the musicians I know personally have the biggest effect.”
