Thanks to Don Imus I recently "discovered" this hidden treasure. I'm not sure how one would categorize McClinton's music.....and all I can say is it makes me feel good; real good! Although the influence of "The Killer" shows through McClinton is very much his own man. He delivers with confidence, sincerity, and soul. Don't let this one pass you by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's Fooling Who, April 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: I'm With You (Audio CD)

I bought this in cassette before CD's were around. It knocked me out. I instantly became a fan. Now I listen to him for energy, to relax, to work by in other words. Can't get enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Of Delbert's Best, September 28, 2002

Blues guitarist Anson Funderburgh leaves his mark all over this release, & the result is one of Delbert's best efforts. Funderburgh's bright, clear tone livens up everything from the opening uptempo blues "That's the Way I Feel" to the catchy, funky blues of "My Baby's Lovin'" & the mid-tempo, 50's-style swagger of "Go On". The great, bouncy "Got You On My Mind" pairs two of rock & blues' best vocalists in Delbert & Jimmy Hall (former lead vocalist for the Wet Willie Band).

Another one of my all-time favorite Delbert tunes is the title track. For me, the synthesizer & horns evoke a tropical island feel on this one. Another track worth mentioning is "The Real Thing", more of a straight ahead rock'n'roller with more punchy horns. Although I don't particularly care for the jump-bluesy "Crazy 'Bout You" & "Who's Foolin' Who", the only true dud in my opinion is the dreary ballad "I Want to Love You". This tune is totally out of place & breaks up what's otherwise a bright, carefree mood. All in all, this is a collection I never get tired of listening to.
