In his younger days, Delbert was touring England and a local band named The Beatles opened for him. Back stage Delbert gave John an impromptu harmonica lesson which was the inspiration for "Love Me Do"
“Going Back To Louisiana” is a real banger from Delbert. I knew y’all would love him. All of his songs are on my song list. I’ve been listening to him for years. If you ever get a chance to see him live, don’t hesitate!
Someone else that needs to be heard is Steve Earle. Especially the video of Copphead Road. Amber would love the Americana/folk sound of bagpipes, mandolin, guitar and drums. He won 3 Grammies back in the 1980s. Pure mountain rock! Another good one of his is Guitar Town.
He moved to Fort Worth at 11. We, (and he,) consider Fort Worth home. Seen him many times over the years- and at Billy Bobs Texas the last time. A real performer as opposed to a studio musician. Maybe because of the hometown crowd, but I've seen his shows in New Orleans and Oklahoma and still very good. Peace.
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken Muddy Waters - Crosseyed Cat Howling’ Wolf - Smokestack Lightning Freddie King - Going Down Blue Öyster Cult - Cities On Flame
Delbert toured England in 1962 with the virtually unknown Beatles opening for him. John Lennon credits Delbert with teaching him harmonica, and he put it to good use on their first UK single "Love Me Do".
Delbert is one of a kind, and has a ton of great songs. He's also known for being a great guy to work with and is very generous with his time to his fans.
In the mid-70s my girl and a friend of ours wondered into the infamous performance club, the Exit Inn on State Street in Nashville. The music was already rocking when we came in, but we weren’t prepared for the cover charge so we sat at the bar where we could still see the band thru a large partition, but could hear everything clearly. Didn’t realize until later we had stumbled into a Delbert McClinton show.
I have a car that still has a CD player in it and I broke out that CD out yesterday. Been married 48 years and it always makes me wanna just look at her and say the, " just like you " part to her. Also like the song with Lyle Lovett, " Too Much Stuff." You can pile it high and never be satisfied, if that isn't a true ism I don't know what is. Not a bad song on the CD. Have a great day kid !
He reminds me alot of Leon Russell. Love your channel guys. I think you would love Leon Russell and he was from Oklahoma and is one hell of a piano player and singer.. Please check out Leon if you can..
Next Led Zepplin song: From Physical Graffiti album - Trampled Under Foot. It's fast-moving, so listen on a day you want to get hyped. I first heard this song while taking a 15-minute smoke-break during basic training. (Can't help but "head-bang" to this.)
You might like the Blues Brothers cover of Delbert's song "B Movie Boxcar Blues". Live from Winterland 12/31/78. Blues Brothers were warmup band for Grateful Dead that night.
You've been Delbertized! I had the CD you were showing and others of his. I saw him years ago at Mohegan Sun Casino. It was a free show in the bar, The Wolf Den. For a show paid for by the casino and available for free, he put on a great show. He had a huge 10 piece band with full horn section and background singers. Delbert of course sang and played the guitar and his famous harmonica.
ZZ Top has a song "Jesus Just Left Chicago". It is a metaphor for the different regions where blues began and and spread. Of course this is my own interpretation but those locations mentioned are blues birth centers. Also Louis Armstrong (and others) does a song called "The Birth of the Blues." which gives a fun recipe for the blues. In fact here it is with Pops and Sinatra tearing it up. th-cam.com/video/7sYdUGoIqUM/w-d-xo.html
Blues as Blues can get, Better off with the blues, Two more bottles of wine, Sandy Beaches (Live version), Every time I roll the dice, Giving it up for your love, Mess of blues, Standing on shaky ground, You were never mine, Every day I have the blues
Making a Recommendation Leann Rimes, did a Fantastic Tribute to Patsy Kline, it is a * Min. Clip, she sings very Much Like Patsy, and its Great to see a Tribute to someone who was very Special, and made Such a Powerful impact on Music.
I'll say it again: Too Much Stuff,Two More Bottles of Wine, Monkey Around, plus Gotta Get It Worked On, Lie No Better, Lipstick Powder and Paint, Better Off With the Blues; I really could keep going and so could all the Delbert fans out there!
Delbert's been fire for decades, and you cant go wrong with any of his cuts. If you want a suggestion for another band you've never done, try Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes. Similar whiskey soaked vocals and harmonica, with a horn section steeped in soul, R&B and blues. The pride of New Jersey.
Oooooh! I Loooove it!! (Sorry I missed your earlier reaction to this man, J. & Amber. I am certainly going to need to go check it out & get 2 birds with 1 stone.) Maybe it's because I am a Canadian that this did not travel far enough up for me to hear but I am glad to hear it now - & it won't be the last! I love this type of music - which I would call Bluesy, Country, Southern Rock - with amped up confident male attitude - that EVEN comes across in the instruments like that harmonica. Like Amber, I enjoyed the lyrics - finding them both saucy & confident & creative. (Like Amber, I am sure! - I have heard a line or two in my time - so the creativity used in this man's pick-up lines had me smiling. I am not saying that they would have worked, but they certainly would have been enough to gain my attention.) I am ready to hear more too.
Yall gotta get back to Gary Moore, but this time listen to him live at Montreux. The first time you covered him with "Still got the blues", the video cut out both of his amazing solos. I would suggest "The messiah will come again". He makes that guitar cry, sing, scream and flat out bleed on that one. Thank you for your work, I have been enjoying your videos for a couple of years now.
I am currently watching you Pat Benatar We Belong video. In the 80s as far as music generes went that I was aware of you had Metal Hard rock, Soft rock, Pop, Rock n Roll, Blues, Country, Jazz, Folk, Country-Western, swing and classical. Those were all that I was aware of there were most likely more and I am sorry to all who know more I can't list them. But as I said in the 80's these were all that I was aware of. I know there are now different levels of metal but don't know when that started. Plus I know Psychedelia was started somewhere before the 80's and existed but again what I was aware of as kid differs from now. However I think that Pat Benatar's We Belong is an example of Soft Rock.
Delbert's SO cool! ...and a great harmonica player. Some of my favorites among Delbert's songs are the duets, such as "Two More Bottles of Wine" (see the live video with Delbert and Emmylou Harris together!), "Gotta get a good woman" (with Bonnie Raitt... see the live video on Dave Letterman's show), Iris DeMent (Trouble!). We love "I want to thank you, baby (and my mama wants to thank you, too!)" Hey-- I bet y'all would love Lucinda Williams. Her "Live on Austin City Limits" songs and her voice are FAB! ...and what a band! Also check out Kate Wolf (and her GREAT band! a little folksy, a little bluegrassy... all original songs) live on Austin City Limits.
You guys need to check out the video of Delbert called Sending Me Angels. Vince Gill is in it and the guitar player is Lee Roy Parnell. I absolutely love his music! Check out Lee Roy's On The Road video. It's one of many great songs from him. I like seeing y'all enjoy the music I grew up on.😊

In his younger days, Delbert was touring England and a local band named The Beatles opened for him. Back stage Delbert gave John an impromptu harmonica lesson which was the inspiration for "Love Me Do"
He was in the Bruce Chanel band of the song “Hey Baby” fame
And Delbert does play the harmonica on Bruce Channel's hit Hey Baby.
Delbert has a great video doing a cover of the Beatles "Come Together".
His best and most popular song, in my opinion, is Giving It Up For Your Love. You will absolutely love it!
Absolutely, It's my favorite song by him. I would recommend grabbing a studio version to hear the impact of the horns
"Ever Time I Roll the Dice" is GREAT ONE Thank you!!
Someone needs to react to this song for sure
They already done it.
“Going Back To Louisiana” is a real banger from Delbert. I knew y’all would love him. All of his songs are on my song list. I’ve been listening to him for years. If you ever get a chance to see him live, don’t hesitate!
I find that Delbert is one of those artists that absolutely shine live.
I saw him at The Bottom Line in NYC back in the late 70s. We were sitting literally at his feet. Amazing performer!
I saw him live many times when I lived in Austin during the 80s. Always great shows.
Jay & Amber, you'll love "Good Man, Good Woman" by Bonnie Raitt and Delbert McClinton !!!
Just about canNOT beat THAT DUO!!! mmm...mmm...MMM!!!
Speaking of Bonnie please do her song Feels Like Home Again
You can never go wrong with Delbert.
Two More Bottles of Wine is a great one by Delbert
PLEASE PLEASE Delbert at Austtin City singing "giving it up for your love" also his cover of Otis Redding's "I'Ve got dreams to remember"
Every time I roll the dice!!!
"Givin' it up for Your Love"...
" Shaky Ground " live is a must by Delbert.
Never ceases to amaze me that a "minor" Temptations hit has been covered so many times by rock, country, and blues artists
@misterdoe Yeah many times over.
Someone else that needs to be heard is Steve Earle. Especially the video of Copphead Road. Amber would love the Americana/folk sound of bagpipes, mandolin, guitar and drums. He won 3 Grammies back in the 1980s. Pure mountain rock! Another good one of his is Guitar Town.
Delbert was and is my all time favorite.Been to see him about 20 times.Always had the tightest bands.
Dancing is easy when he plays.
He moved to Fort Worth at 11. We, (and he,) consider Fort Worth home. Seen him many times over the years- and at Billy Bobs Texas the last time. A real performer as opposed to a studio musician. Maybe because of the hometown crowd, but I've seen his shows in New Orleans and Oklahoma and still very good. Peace.
"When Rita leaves" great Delbert song!
My personal favorite, although I love all his work.
“B” Movie Box Car Blues is mandatory Delbert
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken
Muddy Waters - Crosseyed Cat
Howling’ Wolf - Smokestack Lightning
Freddie King - Going Down
Blue Öyster Cult - Cities On Flame
Yes, Little Feat from their Waiting For Columbus album. The song “Spanish Moon” is another great one from that album.
Spanish moon is my favorite song by them.There’s an animated video of Spanish moon with a live recording. It’s an amazing sounding.@@cindijacobs230
Anything from his Live from Austin album is amazing
Yes!!!! Please do something from that Live In Austin album! Any song - B Movie Boxcar Blues is a favorite of mine that I think y’all would LOVE!
You should check out Delbert’s version of “Take Me to the River.”
Delbert toured England in 1962 with the virtually unknown Beatles opening for him. John Lennon credits Delbert with teaching him harmonica, and he put it to good use on their first UK single "Love Me Do".
Dilbert has another song that's fun for days is, "Same Kind of Crazy". It's a great relationship song.
Delbert McClinton - Givin It Up For Your Love (Live From Austin TX) I think this his best song!
Love me some Delbert!! Dig back and find one of his oldies called Lipstick, Powder and Paint.
One of my favorite harmonica players. Blow your horn Delbert!
Whew! Too many to choose. Sending Me Angels, Why Me, Two More Bottles of Wine, and his version of Have A Little Faith In Me
You can’t go wrong with any Delbert
I wanna add vote for When Rita Leaves. Different vibe but a great tune.
He did a song with Tanya Tucker called Tell me about it. One of my favorites
If you liked this song, try “Giving it Up For Love”
Delbert is so spiritual in his singing about everything.
Delbert is one of a kind, and has a ton of great songs. He's also known for being a great guy to work with and is very generous with his time to his fans.

I love his, He Keeps Sending Me Angels
I have a car that still has a CD player in it and I broke out that CD out yesterday. Been married 48 years and it always makes me wanna just look at her and say the, " just like you " part to her.

Have a great day kid !
YES!! Delbert McClinton is fantastic, loved him for years. Check out Shot from the Saddle, any song is great. Delbert plays the mean harmonica!!
Absolutely need more Delbert.
Delbert McClinton is considered to be the “Godfather of Americana Music.” (My favorite genre.)
Delbert is amazing!! I would say you need to check out his Duet with Bonnie Raitt - Good Man, Good Woman. Awesome song!!!
I could, and HAVE listened to Delbert music all day long. This is babymakin’ music.
Take a look at Delbert's only Top 40 hit, 1980's "Giving It Up For Your Love."
I've never heard this one. Love it!
He reminds me alot of Leon Russell. Love your channel guys. I think you would love Leon Russell and he was from Oklahoma and is one hell of a piano player and singer.. Please check out Leon if you can..
What hot lyrics! Delbert is on fire here!
Y'all will love "Shaky Ground" by Delbert McClinton!🔥 It's a chair dancin' banger!💥💯🤗❤️✌️
Now THAT is some music! Great reaction guys!
Too Much Stuff - Delbert with John Prine and Lyle Lovett
"1941 HITS ARCHIVE: "Yes Indeed!" - Tommy Dorsey (Sy Oliver & Jo Stafford, vocal)"
Next Led Zepplin song: From Physical Graffiti album - Trampled Under Foot. It's fast-moving, so listen on a day you want to get hyped. I first heard this song while taking a 15-minute smoke-break during basic training. (Can't help but "head-bang" to this.)
There are A LOT of good songs by Delbert McC!
I found that album in a second hand record store and it’s fabulous, not a bad track on it.
Y'all need to check out his duet with Bonnie Raitt, "Good Man, Good Woman." Y'all would love it!
Hard to beat New Orleans type blues. It’s certainly my favorite.
Love this song
Miss You Fever and Blue as Blues Can Get, both from that same album, are my favorites!
Dilbert all day. That's what we like!👍
If you love Delbert, you'll love Maria McKee and Lone Justice!❤❤❤❤
I love this relaxed but yet driving rhythm! Beautiful “pocket” feel and this band banging!
You might like the Blues Brothers cover of Delbert's song "B Movie Boxcar Blues". Live from Winterland 12/31/78. Blues Brothers were warmup band for Grateful Dead that night.
His “ Don’t want to Love You Anymore “ is a hauntingly good song !
He is the MAN. Anything you can hear live, is sooo! Thanks for the smile.
He did a great version of "Take Me To The River."
He also did the iconic harmonica playing on Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby" I believe.
You've been Delbertized! I had the CD you were showing and others of his. I saw him years ago at Mohegan Sun Casino. It was a free show in the bar, The Wolf Den.

Thank you, one of my favorite groups !
"The Chokin' Kind" is another great Delbert McClinton bluesy/rocker that you should give a listen to.
Blues as Blues can get, Better off with the blues, Two more bottles of wine, Sandy Beaches (Live version), Every time I roll the dice, Giving it up for your love, Mess of blues, Standing on shaky ground, You were never mine, Every day I have the blues
Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress- The Hollies
"Monkey Around." You'll love it.
Another good song is “ Victim of Life’s Circumstances “. Even covered by Buck Owen’s.
I know I’m a bit late to the show for this, but “If I Hock My Guitar (How am I supposed to play the blues)” is a really fun song by him.
He sings the opening song of the movie Groundhog Day, too!
Making a Recommendation Leann Rimes, did a Fantastic Tribute to Patsy Kline, it is a * Min. Clip, she sings very Much Like Patsy, and its Great to see a Tribute to someone who was very Special, and made Such a Powerful impact on Music.
Delbert is electrifying in person! Love his music!
Amber you'll love 'Sending me Angels" by Delbert c'mon i'm 73 and ain't got time to waste...lol
I'll say it again: Too Much Stuff,Two More Bottles of Wine, Monkey Around, plus Gotta Get It Worked On, Lie No Better, Lipstick Powder and Paint, Better Off With the Blues; I really could keep going and so could all the Delbert fans out there!
I love Delbert. Sandy Beaches is one of my favorites, especially when the horns come in.
He wrote Emmy Lou Harris hit Two More Bottles of Wine. I suggest Down Into Mexico.
Such a great artist, writer, and performer. Try Old Weakness, or Too Much Stuff.
Delbert's been fire for decades, and you cant go wrong with any of his cuts. If you want a suggestion for another band you've never done, try Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes. Similar whiskey soaked vocals and harmonica, with a horn section steeped in soul, R&B and blues. The pride of New Jersey.
Roll of the Dice.....
Oooooh! I Loooove it!!
(Sorry I missed your earlier reaction to this man, J. & Amber. I am certainly going to need to go check it out & get 2 birds with 1 stone.)

I've sent you a bunch of Delbert McClinton, please play more ......

I would suggest "The messiah will come again". He makes that guitar cry, sing, scream and flat out bleed on that one. Thank you for your work, I have been enjoying your videos for a couple of years now.
I love his song "He keeps sending me Angels" with a Young Vince Gill
PLEASE do his version of "You Were Never Mine". Great reaction
Sun Medley with Danny Gatton, Standing on Shaky Ground, so many more……
I am currently watching you Pat Benatar We Belong video.

You break up with a girl - she takes your car and drives it out into the desert and sets fire to it - now that's a love song! "When Rita Leaves"
Delbert's SO cool! ...and a great harmonica player. Some of my favorites among Delbert's songs are the duets, such as "Two More Bottles of Wine" (see the live video with Delbert and Emmylou Harris together!), "Gotta get a good woman" (with Bonnie Raitt... see the live video on Dave Letterman's show), Iris DeMent (Trouble!).

Great video as always, thank you
Give it up for your love ….is the only song I know about Mr Delbert.
Just added this to my playlist, what a vibe
I got to see him live many times. Always put on a great show!
Midnight Communion, Every time I roll The Dice, Old Weakness, Gotta get it Worked on, those will go on your playlist too
You guys need to check out the video of Delbert called Sending Me Angels. Vince Gill is in it and the guitar player is Lee Roy Parnell. I absolutely love his music! Check out Lee Roy's On The Road video. It's one of many great songs from him. I like seeing y'all enjoy the music I grew up on.😊
I'm 75 and have never heard of him. Loved it
I really love his song "Starting a Rumor".
Wow, you brought me back 40 years. I used to listen to Delbert on 8 track in the car. Another was Live and Kicking, King Fish.
