Today we look back at Delbert McClinton's 1989 Alligator Records release, Live From Austin. The year it was released, I was 16 and a drummer friend gave me this album on cassette, and I completely wore it out. Having not been exposed to much besides top-40 of the 1980s, and the contemporary gospel music of the day, The Texas Roadhouse music of McClinton was a revelation with its big, sweaty horns, incredibly tight rhythm section, and fine harp work. The band also featured the guitar work of David Millsap and Stephen Bruton, who brilliantly complemented each other with both their tones and parts. In a conversation with another Delbert veteran, James Pennebaker, I was clued into the fact that Bruton was sitting in with the band for the Austin City Limits TV taping that was also used as the audio for the "Live From Austin" album. Besides diving in on this wonderful album, we also take a look at the influence of the late great Stephen Bruton.

I love the fact that, despite the name of the channel, I never need to ask because Zac knows what we want before we do!😂

Delbert McClinton - "Outdated Emotion".... Pure gold!! ✨🎶

@jipes 25 дней назад

Totally agreed I did spin it in my radio show

@BobMohrbacher-mu1tn 28 дней назад

I happened on Stephen Bruton playing with the Resentments at the Saxon Pub in Austin some years ago. Became an instant fan. Also Jon Dee Graham, great singer & songwriter, was there as well.

Anson Funderburgh, the great Texas blues guitarist, played on the 1990 album that followed Live From Austin-I’m With You.

@gregcottrell3086 29 дней назад

That album caused two buddies and me to see Delbert and Bruton at Jimmy’s in New Orleans during the 1994 Jazz Fest. Still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Bruton came on around 11:00 and played a rocking 45 minute set. Delbert came on a little after midnight and played until past 3:00 am, only handing things off the band for a couple songs mid-set. The poster from the show, signed by Delbert, is still hanging over my desk 30 years later.

I am intrigued with how much the church music scene has influenced American players, of course we have the Gospel link with the African/American artists, Motown/Blues/R&B and so forth-glad you got to get exposed to some 'Devil's music' Zac, it does not seem to have hurt you none!

@user-pt7rv8kd3q 29 дней назад

Loved Delbert since the early 70's.......saw him at a small bar in Tampa. Florida.....he'd sit at the bar between sets and have a beer....I went right up and sat beside him and had a lovely chat....super nice, down to earth and very humble....him and his band were kicking it!!! Saw him many times after that...still one of my all time favorites!

Dave Millsap was my first guitar teacher back in 1980 in Ft Worth, TX. Also bought my first guitar and amp from the music shop Dave worked at. A T-60 and a Pacer amp. So great to hear Dave mentioned. Thanks Zac!

@TM-td3zk 28 дней назад

Thanks for this "recommendation" Zac. I played a couple Delbert McClinton tunes on bass in a blues band years ago - but was otherwise unfamiliar. Jumped on a vintage recordings site while I watched this episode and found a copy of this album.

@user-oi3jz6fv8p 29 дней назад

Thank you, Zac!

@Siwieto1958 29 дней назад

I «found» Delbert in 1984 and been a disiple ever since. Great episode!

@Stratsafact 28 дней назад

I helped promote Delbert and Danny G’s ‘93 show in St. Louis. Lined up the two ‘32 Duce Hot Rods for the video shoot that day. Picked up and retuned Delbert to his hotel after his special appearance. The Sun Medley wow just wow.

@stevenrutherford3649 29 дней назад

I was fortunate enough to live in Austin 1976 to 1980. Delber McClinton along with other Lubbock and Amarillo artists such as Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore were all over Austin then. On a weekday you could see the likes of Willie Nelson, Doug Sahm, Kris Kristofferson, Warren Zevon, etc at local clubs like Castle Creek, The Broken Spoke, or Soap Creek Saloon. It was a great era.

@rca3rd 29 дней назад

Great episode!Been listening to Delbert for many years.

@Patrick_B687-3 29 дней назад

Seen him a few times living my whole life here in Texas. He’s played just about everywhere. This is great stuff as usual, and what a great share. I enjoyed this story man! You’ve been a great refuge for me in a real rough spot the last three months Zac and I can’t thank you enough. I may send you an email about that someday, but until then, I’ll be anxious for the next video.

@TwangThang57 27 дней назад

My old Kinston (NC) High School friend Tim (Heavy T) Loftin killin' it on bass in that band!

@roberthastings708 28 дней назад

Delbert the "Gateway drug" to R&B. Love it. I've been into Delbert since the late 60s. Genuine Cowhide was the 1st album I bought.

@JackTheSkunk 27 дней назад

I read an interview with Billy Sanford in Guitar Player magazine way back when. In it he told of playing in Delbert's band saying "We're the best at what we do". One day shortly thereafter, I came across an album by Delbert in the bargain bin at a local record shop....78 cents !! Darned if it didn't turn out to be one of the best LPs in my collection !!

@tylertaliaferro 28 дней назад

Have you heard Seth James’ “Lessons”? It’s a Delbert approved tribute album and one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time. He’s a great singer and guitarist that deserves a lot more attention.

@michaeldickerson5584 26 дней назад

His electric guitar playing has become fabulous over the last few years, he always had a great voice. Needs to be heard for sure!

@rocnpops62 29 дней назад

I listened to this on the way to work this morning! Fantastic record with a great band backing Delbert’s exceptional vocals.

@NateTheMeh 29 дней назад

Congrats on 200 episodes! Keep up the good the awesome work Zac

@dallasblues74 29 дней назад

Oh man! I was on a session many years ago the Bruton was producing and playing on. He was very gracious. He had impeccable tone and taste too. If I remember correctly he played a PRS and some weird little 1 watt amp on that project. But it sounded huge in his hands! As a side note, his brother Sumter Bruton is a seriously great blues guitarist in Fort Worth. Gotta give him a listen too!

@guitareveryone Месяц назад

Great episode Zac! I always loved watching the old ACL shows. It was always played on PBS on our local cable network on Saturdays and I’d always have my VCR ready to record something I would like. I still have the shows and transferred most of them to DVD. It’s changed a lot these days of course with the change in music so I rarely watch any new episodes now.

@solidsender11 29 дней назад

Yes Delbert McClinton live in Austin is in my collection. Delbert is. A Texas treasure. Guitarist Stephen Bruton was amazing. My favorite Bruton song is called Bigger Wheel. Check it out. If that song don't rock, I don't know what does! God bless Y'all and keep pickin.

@petermach8635 29 дней назад

Enjoy ? ......... that was absolutely brill, as always !!

@user-oi3jz6fv8p 29 дней назад

Delbert changed my life and still elevates mood.

@stauffrt2 29 дней назад

Thanks Zac. I love Delbert. My older brother was friends with him because (true story) Delbert’s mom found my brother funny. Which he really was. Saw Delbert a couple times live in smaller venues. Incredible.

@nickconnolly8983 28 дней назад

Thanks for listening so closely, it was a good moment , the organist

@anthonymcgill8035 29 дней назад

Ordered this album from Alligator Records in the 90’s…great memories, man.

@sjperry54 28 дней назад

I was lucky enough to see Delbert a few years ago with Bob Britt and James Pennebaker on guitars. My dream gig has always been to play in Delbert’s band.

@DavidFernley 29 дней назад

Well what a fine vocalist this guy passed me bye for many years the guitar sound on all his albums are driving and soulful i love two guitars kind of going at it .If possible could you do a vid on Chris Hillman there's a lot look at a long history. Another great vid super stuff

@michaeldickerson5584 29 дней назад

You’re missing the original great guitarist that played with Delbert, Mike O’Neill. The first Delbert and Glen record. That record started a genre, Bruton is one of Mike’s biggest fans. Mike is from Wichita Falls Tx and good friends of Don Kelley and David Holcomb . Anyway listen to that record and you’ll see what I mean. 1972 , Mike is playing a tele through an old bass man and a Leslie. I remember Bruton calling him up over 30 years after the record asking Mike how he hooked up the Leslie! You are doing great work , thanks!

@BarryGober 29 дней назад

Mike is a great guitar player. I first started watching him in the early 90’s after Stephen and his brother Sumter told me about him. He stills plays in Wichita Falls as does David Holcomb who I run into from time to time

@steveogden5087 29 дней назад

This album and "Never Been Rocked Enough" are favorites of mine. Discovered Delbert when he appeared on Austin City Limits.

@briannacery9939 29 дней назад

I picked up a Delbert album after I heard him sing with Bonnie Raitt!

@NickRatnieks 29 дней назад

About 1990 a guy who sold old records at music fairs got me to buy Love Rustler- recorded in 1977 and I then got into Delbert Big Time. I managed to swerve into Austin on business trips to the USA in 1996 and 1997. In 1997 I was lucky enough to see him at La Zona Rosa- backed by Anson Funderburgh and Sam Myers! What a great show by both bands. Delbert's guitar player had a Telecaster but I did not recognise him. Funnily enough we had Max T Barnes play in my local pub a while back- his father co-wrote "Every Time I Roll The Dice" with Troy Seals- which is where he gets the T in his name. I do have this album, of course!

I first heard Delbert on Danny gattons sun medley, loved his voice straight away, been hooked ever since

@davidbertoncini827 29 дней назад

Big fan of Stephen Bruton…I have all his CD’s that I could find. He is missed

@Heavenreck Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing loving all the new content. It's interesting you spend time talking about Bruton. I discovered him in Jeff Bridges interview he did for Gretsch Guitars, for the movie Crazy Heart and his work with T-Bone(I really love that soundtrack and the movie). I then went back to listen to his work with Delbert and watch whatever live performances I could with Kris Kristofferrson and his work with Bonnie Rait. Also his feature in the movie Road to Austin.

@jipes 25 дней назад

Dear Zak his album tall Dark and handsome is really great

@stratman2023 29 дней назад

I saw Bruton playing in the Geoff Muldaur band in the early 1970’s. He had a gold top Les Paul with P90s, a twin reverb amp, a volume pedal that he turned around so top volume was pedal all the way up. I was onstage sitting a few feet from him. To top it all off he wore snakeskin cowboy boots!

@BarryGober 29 дней назад

Stephen told one time that he just sat in for that gig as he was not in Delbert’s band at the time. Just heard you address that as I was typing this. Dave Millsap is in New Mexico now. There were a lot of great guitarists that came up in Fort Worth during that time including Stephens brother Sumter. The Bruton’s shaped my musical life. Will McFarlane told me that Stephen would sit in with Bonnie in the 70’s. Their relationship goes back a long way.

@realadamnixon 28 дней назад

Another excellent episode Zac! In regards to Pennebaker, I first discovered his playing with Lee Roy Parnell in the 90's. His Tele twang matched LRP's slide Strat tone beautifully. The whole band was killer, with Lynn Williams on drums, Steve Mackey on bass, Kevin McKendree on piano, and sometimes Reese Wynans on B-3 and LRP's brother Rob Roy Parnell on harmonica. Several of those guys had played with Delbert before joining Lee Roy, and both bands have that delicious Texas mix of country, blues, soul, r&b and roadhouse music.

@user-pt7rv8kd3q 29 дней назад

I'm also a big fan of Stephan Bruton....

@stratjed 29 дней назад

Delbert McClinton is so freaking awesome ! He is one of the greatest American singer song writer harp players of all time. Nothing Personal is a masterpiece of an album and a personal favorite.

@chrisquinn9104 29 дней назад

This must be in the air because the Blues Brothers are in The air. Matt Murphy and Steve Cropper burn on their version of B-Movie. It was the first time I was told who Cropper was, probably ‘79 I’m sure you “church folks” parents would not have wanted you listening to those lyrics. Raunchy Stuff! You’d be goin’ to the “hot place”

@seannolan2259 29 дней назад

I love the Buddy Whittington live version of shaky ground played on a borrowed tele..so funkin’ good!!

@fillman2 29 дней назад

Mike O'Neil. On the Delbert And Glen record.

@michaeldickerson5584 26 дней назад

That’s what I said and that was 1972. Mike would have been 23 but the whole band sounded like a bunch of killer, seasoned musicians!

@MrTimcoronel 28 дней назад

that riff could just as well be key to a Nile Rogers disco song

@aminahmed2220 28 дней назад

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day Zac also I have put a video of vinyl shopping on my channel to be honest ❤😊

@BarryGober 29 дней назад

Two guitarists who left off were Billy Wade Sanders who was the main guy in the 70’s and early 80’s and Bill Campbell from Austin who really influenced the Vaughan Brothers when they arrived in Austin

@kallejularebo 29 дней назад

Stephen Bruton so missed😢

Listening as I'm going through my 'new to me' early 80's fender bassman compact amp. $40 on craigslist.

@bbailey0508 29 дней назад

So who was your top 5 gospel groups of the 80s?

@Youtubemademeaddahandle 5 дней назад

Delbert McClinton in Austin is like a country guy who is really an R&B artist. So freshly out of place! But, Zac Childs must have had his his hair died cause it also doesn't quite go with the beard.
