Reviews / Votes
Asserts the songwriter's centrality in forging a uniquely Texas blend of blues, country, R&B, and rock." - The Austin Chronicle"Delbert McClinton's many fans will find One of the Fortunate Few reaffirming, shedding light on a truly selfless, generous soul. Those unfamiliar with Delbert will be instantly drawn to him and will undoubtedly seek out his music and touring schedule. When you realize McClinton was playing at the birth of rock n' roll in the '50s, shared some harmonica tips with John Lennon, and has played just about every kind of American music in every conceivable venue from dives to the world's biggest stages, you can't help but admire this living legend. His story is of endurance, sacrifice, perseverance, and ultimately success in the unforgiving often cruel music business." - Elmore Magazine
