MAN RECORDINGS INSPIRATION SERIES #16 : DELIVERANCE
Friday, May 8th, 2009
“Deliverance”, the story of four city men embarking on a rafting tour in the U.S. South and suddenly getting hunted by rednecks, is one of the best movies that New Hollywood produced and one of my favourite flicks. The most memorable scene is the opening scene, where one of the city gents clashes with one of the locals. My old mate Tim “Love” Lee used “Dueling Banjos” to open his DJ sets – creating blank confusion on all dancefloors. Make sure to grab a copy of the soundtrack of “Deliverance”, it´s full of great banjo and honky tonk music, perfect for mixtape interludes or dancefloor irritation. Even Beastie Boys used a bit out of the “Deliverance” soundtrack on “Pauls Boutique” – it´s the country track before “Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun”. Yehaa!
