An Early Recording
These tracks should not be compared to his succesful albums of the past 30 years. For those Delbert lovers bashing this CD, look at it more like a look into his past; a time when he was still forming his sound. Many of these tunes are covers of songs he enjoyed as a young man growing up and touring with Bruce Channel and teh Beatles (THIS BOY).

As a huge Delbert fan , I considered this a real treat to hear these early recodings, and as far these sounding like Delbert. They do, they just don't sound like Delbert in the year 2000.


For Completists Only.
Everybody who worked in Texas fell into the hands of the infamous Huey Meaux at one time or another, and Delbert was no exception. Delbert remains the Keeper of the Flame, the best roadhouse rocker in the biz, but this is a very disappointing release. These cuts were made in the 60s when he was yet to form his own personal fusion of country and R & B, and suffer, like his first efforts for Major Bill Smith, from a lack of direction - and a typically mean spirited set of production values from Meaux. A mixture of garage rock and Beatles-influenced rock 'n' roll - but none of the fire of the later Delbert. One to miss.


Thought I would Love Anything Delbert Releases
Love the way he sings honky tonk and love the way he sings the blues. I am a dyed in the wool Delbert McClinton fan. But this album was a real disappointment. Mainly because Delbert sounds like everyone except Delbert. Couldn't find even one Delbert song. While the first song (Don't Let Go) didn't sound like Delbert, it was still fun to listen to. Unfortunately that was the only one I could enjoy. The rest were more like famous songs sung by unknowns. I'll still add Delbert albums to my wish list. Maybe this is the only real disappointment that he's ever released!.
