Tall, Dark And Handsome

Description

Delbert McClinton is a legend among Texas roots music fans, not only for his incredible longevity but also for his ability to blend country, blues, soul, and rock & roll as if there were no distinctions between the genres. Recognized as an amazing harmonica player long before he launched his singing career, McClinton performed with legends like Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, and many others. McClinton's career began in the late 1950s, but it took him nearly two decades to become a true solo artist. In 1978, Emmylou Harris propelled his "Two More Bottles of Wine" to the top of the national charts. In the following years, McClinton recorded with stars like Wynonna, Vince Gill, Lee Roy Parnell, and Martina McBride, among others. He has been invited to perform with Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, BB King, Mavis Staples, and many more.
