5.0 out of 5 stars The Jealous Kind makes other singers jealous, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Classics, Vol. 01 - The Jealous Kind (Audio CD)

Let's face it...anyone named Delbert is probably danged good at his job...you can't tote that monkier through life and not strive to excel just to get folks to hush up. Delbert can sure enough make folk hush up, it's hard to chatter when your jaw drops. Anyone who sees Delbert perform for the first time just naturally gets left speechless, so come prepared with a pad and pencil if you're not already a fan. If you can't find him touring nearby, just listen to 'The Jealous Kind' a few times and see if it won't make you swear eternal loyalty to the Cult Of Delbert. You'll be in good company, as represented by other fans and reviewers listed here. Delbert's got the pipes, y'all. He's no Johnny Come Lately, honkeytonkin' is his craft and he's been working roadhouse crowds into frenzied true believers for more years than your Mama's been making good cornbread. He's got some good cuts on this CD, the title cut alone is worth the price, and 'Back To Louisiana' is guaranteed to get the halt & the lame up and rockin'. Like those Lotto folks say, "You can't win if you don't play"...and you can't win if you don't play some Delbert very loud and very often. Try his latest CD 'One of the Fortunate Few' for an update on how the rascal is rocking the house these days. Y'all might as well get with it, times a-wasting. Hurry up and get happy.

I bought the LP Jealous Kind in 1980? and it has always been one of my favorites. I think it ranks right up there with One of the Fortunate Few. Delbert is awesome!

This is an excellent cd. Delbert is the best blues singer I have heard. "Giving It Up For Your Love" is my favorite. "I Can't Quit You" has real meaning for me. Delbert McClinton is one of the most under-rated performers in the music business.
