A Great Delbert Collection
This album is a bit different, but I feel that's what makes it great! Delbert singing "Twist & Shout/La Bamba". After reading some of the other reviews I felt compelled to review myself. . . "These Boots Are Made For Walking". . . "Mr. Pitiful". . . "This Boy". . . I love it! Sure, Delbert's voice sounds a little different - it was 30+ years ago - my voice certainly sounds different from 30 years ago too! We all have our different tastes, but I simply love this collection. It's a great summertime listen too - it fit in perfectly at my barbecue this past weekend!.


If you like Delbert you wont like this
This is simply a collection of old stuff that does not relate to who Delbert is today. We love Delbert.
We have eeryting Delbert has done in the past. Have not missed a single CD. This is not Honky Tonkin this is 1950 without a band. Sorry, this has no place in my Delbert collection.

Terribly Dated Pre 1970s Dreck
I am interested in anything he does. Delbert McClinton is a terrific talent and singer of Texas Roadhouse blues. This record is a collection of his earliest recordings, all pre 1970. It was after this period that he became the great talent he is today. Do these recordings shed light on his roots? Somewhat. These are C+ covers of popular songs, some soul, some pop, including the Beatles "This Boy" and Otis Redding's "Mr. Pitiful". The arrangements and production are very dated, while the sound quality is good. At times, it barely even sounds like Delbert. None of the songs are particularly interesting or even worth a second listen. I wonder if Delbert had any say or control about this disc coming out. There is a lot of much better material elsewhere than here. This record is for completists only. .


1960's Delbert
Although this is a 2009 release, these are mostly from sessions done in the 60's so don't get this expecting new music. This is a great way to get back to Delbert's roots. His picture on the cover is a clue that these are old recordings. For historical purposes, you should get this to complete a collection and to follow his evolution to the great artist that he is today. The liner notes provide good historical info as well. When importing this cd into itunes, it thinks that the title is "The Crazy Cajun Recordings" so I'm not sure what that's all about. If you want a musical flash back, check this disc out.
