[1] In Camilleri's own words, their desire was to "blow out the serious days' work with people who shared the same interest in music and who simply wanted to play it".
"The Delta Revelators", as they were originally known, were a Black Sorrows side project in the late 1980s to play gigs and relax after more serious studio work.
Also guesting on the album were most of the other members of The Black Sorrows, including violinist Jen Anderson and vocalists Linda and Vika Bull.
In early 2000, a reconstituted version of the group was assembled, now featuring Camilleri, Creighton, Black, drummer Nicky Bomba, and (as an adjunct member) Ed Bates on pedal steel.
In September 2002, the band -- now consisting of Camilleri, Creighton and Black with new drummer Tony Floyd -- released a third studio album titled, The Revelators.
[11] In August 2012, the band reunited for three special afternoon shows in Melbourne at the newly launched venue the Flying Saucer Club.
