No Compromises

A Comeback Cast exclusive interview with Singer and Songwriter David DeLong

In 1979, David DeLong wrote a song for a lifelong friend going through a divorce — a friend who said he simply couldn't make a compromise. Over four decades later, that song still carries the same truth.

In this episode of The Comeback Cast, David performs "No Compromise" live on his 1992 James Olson guitar — and tells us the full story behind it: how he discovered the Olson watching David Wilcox perform in Texas, how he found his own on a running trail in Cleveland, and how music ideas work on him overnight before he can even put them into words.

This is what happens when a song outlasts the moment that created it.
