The Revelators
The Revelators (also known as "The Delta Revelators") is an Australian blues rock band formed in 1989 by Joe Camilleri, James Black, Joe Creighton and Peter Luscome. Jeff Burstin joined in 1990. 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 band is a side project of The Black Sorrows as all members were part of The Black Sorrows at the time of formation. The Revelators' sound was a return to early Black Sorrows sound: playing largely R&B-oriented cover songs. The band released three studio albums and a live DVD between 1991 and 2002. A greatest hits was released in 2012. The band received two ARIA Award nominations; both for ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album, in 2001 and 2003.

The Revelators (album)
''The Revelators'' is the third and final studio album by Australian blues-rock band The Revelators. The album was released 23 September 2002. The band considers this 'their true debut'. Camilleri said "This is the evolution of being a band. It’s about trying to create a standard of music that’s as good as the music we love." Unlike the band's previous albums, this album contains mostly original tracks. Joe Camilleri said; “We wrote a whole bunch of songs for the record, but some didn’t make the cut. It’s always a tricky thing, you think they’re all beautiful. Some songs are really good but they don’t fit the record.” The album was officially launched on 4 October 2002 at Melbourne's Corner Hotel. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2003, the album was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album losing to '' Up All Night'' by The Waifs.
