I love Delbert's songs, all of them. He is wonderful in person.
I've seen Delbert McClinton twice. Once in Tulsa, Ok. at the Brady Theater. A great show indeed. Next time in his home state in Austin, Tx. He played at the Broken Spoke Club, I believe, I get confused from trying to figure if it was the Broken Spoken Club or The Continental Club. I believe also that it was on the north side of Austin.
Sorry about the long saga. Anyway this one show was very special. Not only did I see Delbert, I saw Albert Collins whom was warming up for DM that night. So I can say I saw the Master of the Telecaster, Mr Collins, and also Delbert on the same stage.
When Delbert McClinton came on the first tune out of the bag was Lipstick, Powder, and Paint. Truly a classic. The rest of the set(which was the first set) was killer. After a short break Delbert came back and did Plain Old Makin' Love, another great blues number.
If you have never seen Delbert on a stage I highly recommend it. He frontman workmanship is immaculent, not to mention that excellent blusey voice of his. When he belts a slow blues song, you will testify to the great Blues God assuredly.
Hit the bricks and get this cd for your collection. It is a must. Oh yeah pick up one of his live cd's too. There will be no regrets. Dig it to the max always.
The shirt is ok but what about the sunglasses? That looks like a pair I have.
After Delbert and his band rocked my socks off at Gruene Hall, I had to go out and purchase everything he has recorded... well, that is quite a library my fellow Texan has compiled and this talented musician has just hit his stride in my opinion. Keep on rocking Delbert, you are the man!!!
Absolutely the greatest living rock and roll singer in the world. Catch him live and you'll think the rolling stones are an embarassment by comparison.
Man these are two of the best records to come out of Texas ever. Delbert has been killin' in honky tonks for years, and the cuts on these two records are the reason why. All the "Texas Music" fans out there who think Pat and all the wannabes are what Texas Music sounds like should check this shit out!
I first saw Delbert open for Willie at the Austin Opry House in 80. I was a freshman in high school and thought he looked greasy but sounded hot. I saw him again about 3 years later and greasy must have looked better to me. His music was still hot. Now I've seen him about6 more times, the last being a few years ago when he played a private wedding party in San Angelo, which I crashed. I thought I might just do the man while he was singing
"Everytime I Roll the Dice." He is the king of Roadhouse Blues and an authentic representative of Texas Music. . . in a tremendously sexual way.
Went to see Delbert in Houston at The Verision Wireless Theater. The place was jumping. Before the night was over several women from the audience joined Delbert on stage to boogie with him. He played about 2 hours. Only wished he would have played 2 more.His band members each have solo albums and we heard some samples from each one. These guys really jam.
I have been a devoted follower of Delbert for over 40 years. This Texan is as good as it gets wheather it is performing or writing. His latest album "Room To Breathe" is an example of how excellent this man is.Of course he also has the best band in the business and is the proud winner of 2 grammys.
