Deladap
Made In Mexico

This album is an expression of DelaDap’s deep-felt thankfulness to their fantastic audience in Vive Latino! Festival in Mexico, whose amazing support for this concert made the trip into the definitive highlight of the band’s nine-year history. Which makes Made in Mexico even more enjoyable elsewhere… although a Mexico tour with this album in your luggage is certainly not a bad idea!

Going back to the creative roots of the Made in Mexico album, DelaDap, founded 2004 in Vienna, along with mastermind Stani Vana, who also functions as the producer, DJ, and occasional vocalist of the band, have always welcomed artistic challenges with open arms. However, when two musicians recently cancelled practically moments before the departure date for a concert at the Vive Latino! Festival in Mexico City causing the line-up to unexpectedly crumble, even Vana had to take a deep breath. And then – as always – he picked himself up and got right back to work…

He created totally new versions of the ten best and most-loved DelaDap tracks, composing an amazing set of their old and new hits, including Straight Ahead/Samo Pravo, Crazy Swing, and Don’t Turn Around. Add to this the new single I Do, an early premonition of the upcoming studio album “Love & Do”, and you have a delicious cherry on the cake of the fine musical medley aptly titled All the Best of the Old Stuff.

When singer Tania Saedi showed up on the scene, absorbing the songs in record time, it became clear that the continually changing creative puzzle that is DelaDap was once again complete. The rest is history.

DelaDap’s concert in Mexico (which was Saedi’s first ever performance with the band!) was an absolute triumph. Audience and band were totally on the same wavelength, playfully celebrating life, music, and dance.

Overwhelmed by this stellar experience, it quickly became clear that something more had to happen with these fantastic new song versions, even more so because Tania Saedi was now a permanent member of the band. The Made in Mexico album took form, a collection of familiar DelaDap tracks dressed in new acoustic garb and with the new voice of the band. It may be true that these numbers were originally produced for Mexico, but their final shape took form in Mexico along with the band that played them – truly made in Mexico!

Ford scored an unexpected hit on the pop charts in 1955 with his rendering of "Sixteen Tons", a sparsely arranged coal-miner's lament, that Merle Travis first recorded in 1946 reflecting his own family's experience in the mines of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. The song's authorship has been claimed by both Travis and George S. Davis. Its fatalistic tone contrasted vividly with the sugary pop ballads and rock & roll just starting to dominate the charts at the time.

With Ford's snapping fingers and a unique clarinet-driven pop arrangement by Ford's music director, Jack Fascinato, "Sixteen Tons" spent ten weeks at number one on the country charts and eight weeks at number one on the pop charts, and made Ford a crossover star. It became Ford's signature song.

Lyrics:

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
