Max McNown’s cover of Hey There Delilah continues the parallel between my playlists Best Acoustic Guitar Songs and Best Acoustic Covers. As Max himself shared on Instagram, this song holds a special place in his heart — it was the first song he ever performed in public at the age of 12. You can even find a video of that early performance on his profile!
As for his rendition, the iconic arpeggio from the Plain White T’s original is replaced by an uptempo strumming pattern, accompanied by a delightful mix of banjo and electric guitar. This unique arrangement gives Max’s version a refreshing country twist.
