Delbert McClinton - 2 albums: I'm With You / Feelin' Alright

Delbert McClinton proudly defies classifications. His music blends his Texas roots with roadhouse rock, juke-joint blues, Memphis soul and country. During his entire recording career, record labels have consistently tried to pigeonhole Delbert's music. But if you ask the critics about Delbert's dynamic vocals and harmonica style, you'll hear descriptions ranging from 'honky-tonk,' 'blue-eyed soul,' and 'Texas stomp' to 'country rock' and 'blues.' Delbert's music rebels against traditional categorization. Ask Delbert what kind of music he plays and he'll say, "Fun music."

Delbert was born in Lubbock, Texas in 1940 and moved to Ft. Worth at the age of 12. His mother was a beautician and his father a switchman for the Rock Island Railroad, the same famous "Rock Island Line" that was the subject of so many songs by Texas bluesmen. But Delbert was growing up as a normal Texas teenager, unaware of the blues, until (as he recalled in MUSICIAN magazine) one fateful day. "I was coming back from squirrel hunting and there was this old black barbecue place, and I heard Joe Turner's "Honey Hush." The closer I got, the more excited I got. My heart went to pounding, and I said, 'Who is that, and what is it?' I'll never forget that. There's no way I can explain it. I just went nuts. That stuff still does it to me. Boy, I wish I could hear more music that could do that to me now." Delbert began to immerse himself in the local R&B scene, staying up into the early morning, listening to KNOK, Ft. Worth's R&B station.
