My Darling Clementine is a true homage to classic country duets of the 60’s and 70’s - George & Tammy and Johnny & June. The latest album, “Country Darkness” is a collaboration with keyboard genius Steve Nieve (The Attractions / The Imposters) that reinterprets the country songs of Elvis Costello. Released in November 2020, it charted in both the UK and European Americana charts to unanimous praise.
During the past 11 years they have played over 900 shows around the world, won numerous awards and have more than earned their own bona fides, with wry, heart-on-sleeve songcraft spotlighting the vagaries of romance, the human condition and their match-made-in-heaven harmonies
***********
Their 2011 debut “How Do You Plead?” was hailed as "The greatest British country record ever made” by Country Music People
“The Reconciliation” was the New York Daily News 'album of the month' and one of the Top 10 Country Albums of 2013 at Popmatters.
'The Other Half' album emerged from a collaboration with best selling crime writer, Mark Billingham with 8 of MDC's songs creating a dark, story noir of murder, lust and revenge!
Album no. 4 "Still Testifying" shifted focus, embracing gospel and country soul to wide acclaim..
“Where gospel, country and Southern soul happily collide. It’s terrific" (UnCut)
“.. this is more Delaney & Bonnie than George & Tammy” (Record Collector)
"MDC mix country gloom with excellent musicianship and very fine songs.” The Guardian
"King and Dalgleish have re-invented the country duet" - The mingling of these two voices is just heavenly” Mojo
"One of the most exquisitely pained country albums of the year comes from England” New York Daily News
***********
