About This Episode
Considered a master among Texas music
aficionados, blues experts, and critics alike, McClinton is highly
respected, not only for the incredible longevity of his career but
for his ability to meld genres into his own style. The celebrated
three-time Grammy award winners, Delbert McClinton and his band
Self-Made Men, will release their newest recording Prick Of The Litter in January. The
CD contains 12 new songs that feature the soulful blend of blues,
jazz, country and rock that has become synonymous with McClinton’s
distinctive style.
His songs and soul-stirring
performances have connected with audiences across the country as
well as his peers. Throughout the decades, McClinton has penned
songs that have been cut by successful country and blues artists,
collaborated with artists ranging from Bonnie Raitt to Tanya Tucker
and continued to create relevant and distinctive music.
This episode also features Big Top
appearances by Big Wave Dave and the Ripples from Duluth,
Minnesota, and of course our very own Blue Canvas Orchestra.
