Delaney
If the rock musician is today's troubadour, then the motel is his watering place, his caravansary, his wayside inn.
Standardized, depersonalized, anonymous, the motel room is where the rock performers sleep, relax, plan, compose, eat; and where they often make their best music.
Amplifiers stay in the band van: they are too much trouble to unload, and the music must not be so loud as to draw the attention of the other guests or the management.
Acoustic guitars, tambourines, a suitcase or soda bottle carton-sometimes even a piano in the lounge-perhaps an upright bass: this is the instrumentation of the "motel shot."
Sometimes it happens in somebody's Basement gameroom, sometimes in a backstage dressing room, sometimes on a tour bus, but the "motel shot," wherever it is played is always characterized by the non-electric, no-strain, no-pain, soft easy sound that Delaney & Bonnie-and their talented friends-birng you in this record.
