Biography
Delaney and Bonnie are one of those acts whose reputation far exceeds their eventual commercial success. The duo was built around the songwriting talents of husband and wife team Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett. During their heyday the couple enjoyed the patronage of Eric Clapton and at times boasted an all star line-up which included musicians of the calibre of Gregg and Duane Allman, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Jim Keltner and Bobby Keys.
Commercially, the band peaked with their third album, 'On Tour With Eric Clapton', a live set recorded in the UK and released in 1970. The album, which was critically acclaimed at the time, went to number 29 in Billboard's Albums Chart. However, by the time the couple released their sixth album and final studio album 'Country Life' in 1972 the quality was so poor their record company Atco/Atlantic rejected it and subsequently sold off their recording contract to CBS Records.
The band remain an interesting footnote in the history of rock music, admired and respected by their peers and undoubtedly capable of magical live performances, but with a recording legacy that failed to fulfil the band's promise.
