Not too long ago I saw a You Tube video with him on a cruise ship singing I've Got Dreams To Remember. Had 3 black women singing background. Maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn...gave me chills. That dude got some pipes.
Also, like his version of Let The Good Times Roll and Standing On Shaky Ground.

Here is a podcast interview with Delbert.. The host, Otis Gibbs, does a good job exploring the history of music with an emphasis on blues, country and folk.

Saw him at the House of Blues a few years back as a friend of mine has always been a huge fan. I was converted that night.

Two of my favorites:

You Were Never Mine

Too Much Stuff/with John Prine and Lyle Lovett

Delbert McClinton explains the myth and legends, including John Lennon’s harmonica lesson
quote:

Now, as far as that story about him teaching Lennon how to play the harmonica, McClinton says history doesn’t really support the legend.

It was the early ’60s and McClinton was playing England as part of the backing band for American singer Bruce Channel, who had a huge hit with Hey Baby, on which McClinton played harmonica. The Beatles were opening for Channel.

McClinton says that Lennon already knew how to play and that he just gave him some tips.

“These things are getting romanticized by everyone,” he says. “They [The Beatles] were just another group of guys. They hadn’t yet changed the world. [But] we were all going to change the world, every one of us. And there was no doubt about it.”

He also wrote "Two More Bottles of Wine". Loved this guy since I saw him on Austin City Limits around 1978-79

Giving It Up for Your Love is one of my favorites of his from the 70's. Saw him many times in Baton Rouge, Monroe, and New Orleans. Albums are great.
