Texas MusicThe songs were great as were the singers but the overall quality of the disk was poor.
Still great listening 36 years later
" That Delbert McClinton song in particular that has served as antidepressant, sense-of-humor recharger since I was 21 1n 1972. I still have the original albums and many of my friends have been lectured to (by me) of the essential nature of the song "Cold November. They're all great!! .
Roughing it.
As a recording it is less than ideal. As a historical document of how it all came about for Delbert this is a keeper and very interesting.
Lots of good licks, good lyrics, great ideas, all executed with either budget or drug induced limitations.
Crank it up and have a party but don't waste it on your good speakers.
Long Overdue
A. Finally, Delbert's many fans get a glimpse of his seminal,just left Texas for L. ,pre-roadhose big horn section,brand of music. Delbert's fine voice and his unique grasp of R&B is here but it's displayed using songs he crafted,showing a gift for lyrics that he all but abandoned as he became more successful. Though Delbert has always been able to "Soulify" any song,his interpretation of his own material is special. This CD is also an excellent introduction to another great R&B voice,Glen Clark. Though not as well known as Delbert, Clark also has a natural and soulful grasp of R&B. He creates gospel laced rock and blues that stirs your feet as well as your soul. This CD is long overdue and will hopefully spawn another generation of Delbert and Glen fans.
Finally!!! Released on CD
Both albums have been collectors items for years. These are two classic albums that have truly timeless music on them. If you could find them they were $25-50. Then they were in whatever condition they were in. Usually scratched! Give a listen to "Here Comes the Blues Again" or "Cold November and you wonder why it took so long for the general public to catch on to what many of us have known for years. That being Delbert is a singing, songwriting master of country/blues. Over the past 26 years I have seen him tear up literally 100s of bars, honky tonks and small theaters. Buy this CD and then catch him live soon. He travels to all four corners of the USA so he has to come close to you sooner than later. Go to Delbert. com to see where he is playing and get there soon!!!! Buy this CD.
