“King and Dalgleish have earned their place in the role call of great country duettists” UNCUT
“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
A labour of love on multiple levels, My Darling Clementine – the sobriquet of spouses Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish – began as a homage to classic country duets of the 60’s and 70’s á la George & Tammy and Johnny & June
Their latest album is called “Country Darkness” – a collaboration with keyboard genius Steve Nieve (The Attractions / The Imposters), which sees them reinterpreting the country songs of Elvis Costello.
Released in November 2020 it charted in both the UK and European Americana charts receiving unanimous praise along the way
During the past 9 years My Darling Clementine have played over 800 shows around the world, won numerous awards and have more than earned their own bona fides, with their wry yet heart-on-sleeve song-craft spotlighting the vagaries of romance and the human condition, and their match-made-in-heaven harmonies
