Delbert:A Victim Of Reissues,
By
This review is from: Genuine Rhythm & The Blues (Audio CD)
Delbert McClinton's particular brand of countryfied r&b has always been a treat for the ears. Having followed his career from the Delbert & Glen days I can only congratulate newcomers on discovering this compilation. It's a great selection of what he did best. At that time. It's also a chance to hear some of the South's best sidemen in action. The players from Muscle Shoals. The American Group from Memphis with the best feel player in the business, guitarist Reggie Young. My only complaint is that when you look at Delbert's record record - if you pardon the expression - I can't think of anybody who has had his work so missused and reissued. It's a shame. Talk about being a Victim Of The Business's Circumstances... On the other hand: When it comes to compilations, Hip-O does a great job. Witness Millie Jackson and Nils Lofgren. They also treat Delbert McClinton with respect. Which is more than can be said for the various Curb selections.

What you see is what you get!,
This review is from: Genuine Rhythm & The Blues (Audio CD)
This album is a trawl through some good parts of Delbert McClinton's back catalogue, and it's a shame this isn't always as clearly indicated as it might be. The choice of material is good, being a representative selection of the kind of roadhouse R&B/rock'n'roll (delete according to your own personal preferences or prejudices) that the artist does so well. Longtime D.M. fans who only have this stuff on vinyl may welcome its release on CD, and anyone who doesn't yet know the guy, but is into solid, meaty, "more than just guitars" R&B, ought to be pretty satisfied. For me a standout track is his version of the old classic "Before you accuse me"; but there isn't really a weak song on the album. Perhaps not up to the very high standards of his last album, "One of the fortunate few", but still, any Delbert McClinton issue is like meeting up again with a real old friend, and as such must be good news ... as we wait for the next really new stuff!

Past solid work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Genuine Rhythm & The Blues (Audio CD)
This cd contains a good mix of rock'n'blues from Delbert's work in the mid to late seventies. The musicianship holds up very well even compared with today's quality recordings. Keep in mind, this is Curb Records re-releasing a different mix of tunes which they own the rights without any imput from Delbert. If you don't have these tunes on cd already, then it's a must for real Delbert fans.
