Delbert McClinton Artist Snapshot:

A journeyman roots musician who'd put in nearly five decades in the music business by the turn of the millennium, Delbert McClinton's take on country and blues only improved with age. Cutting his chops as a touring and session man in the 1960s for various blues and R&B strutters, McClinton developed his own distinct approach in the '70s that incorporated soul and blues into a standard country framework, and at its best helped to define the "road house" style. He continued to record into the '90s and 2000s, collaborating with legends such as B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (10/10/97, p.92) - "...McClinton howls, struts, proves he has plenty of testosterone--and that he's one of the planet's greatest roadhouse rockers." - Rating: B+
Musician (1/98, p.98) - "...this lusty Texas-bred shouter proves he can still draw blood, belting out tales of desire and retribution with a wicked fervor unquenched by four decades of performing....avoids rerun-itis with a killer batch of new songs....a greasy delight."

On ONE OF THE FORTUNATE FEW, Delbert McClinton trots out a set of ten new compositions, and, working with some of the top session musicians in Nashville, lays down a groove as big and wide-open as his native Texas. Even though his lyrics touch on typical blues topics like salvation ("Sending Me Angels") and an unfaithful or departed lover (everything else), he sings with such hurt and conviction that they don't sound like cliches. Helping him to stay young is a veritable who's who of the younger generation of Country stars (Vince Gill, Patty Loveless and Bekka Bramlett) plus a few relative old-timers (Lyle Lovett, John Prine and a special appearance by B.B. King). Delbert McClinton made his first record in 1959, and a lot has changed since then, both in music and in the real world, but his voice and his groove still sound as fresh as they did way back when. Now approaching his fifth decade in the business, he continues to outperform artists half his age; and although he may not have invented the term "roadhouse blues," he's one of the ones who gave it meaning.
