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.
