Hey There Delilah - Max McNown

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.
