Delbert McClinton Music

Artist Overview
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.
