Delaney Davidson "Swim dowm low" 2014

...Davidson went on to produce Neilson’s breakthrough 2014 album Dynamite!, which took the Canadian-born New Zealand-based country singer from the country mainstream to an area where country meets soul and garage rock. “What I brought to Tami and Marlon is a much more lo-fi, warm approach to sound, rooted in the ’50s or early ’60s, when it was all recorded in good, little rooms live, people playing together. It has a bright warm kind of grit, mastered hot and loud.”..
...Davidson co-wrote several of the songs on Dynamite!, knocking out three tunes with Neilson in their first afternoon. “She’s great to collaborate with, quick with ideas and reacts really well.” He went on to produce the follow-up, Don’t Be Afraid.
He has continued to collaborate musically. In 2016 he toured New Zealand with Mexican/Californian singer Nicole Izobel Garcia as Manos Del Chango. In early 2017 he joined former Band organist Garth Hudson and a handpicked array of New Zealand musicians in a tribute to The Last Waltz documentary. In mid-2017 he completed production on the first solo album of former Hello Sailor guitarist Harry Lyon (due for release in early 2018), and began work on a collaborative album with Warratahs singer and songwriter Barry Saunders. In September 2017 he performed at Roundhead Studios with Neil Finn as part of his live webcast Infinity Sessions.
Davidson played the central role in The Christchurch Free Theatre’s production of The Black Rider, the musical written by William Burroughs and Tom Waits. In late 2017 he undertook a solo tour of small New Zealand towns that involves the screening of his own movies.
He has also collaborated with other filmmakers. In 2007 he played the lead role in The Road To Nod, a noir drama by German filmmaker M A Littler, “about a guy who gets out of jail, tries to go back to life before jail but everything’s changed, winds up witnessing a murder and killing a guy and he’s on the run for the rest of the movie”. Early 2017 saw the release of Devil In The Parlour, Harley Williams’ documentary about Davidson’s own journey...to be continued... - audioculture
