Have seen Delbert at least 15 times and every time is awesome. He can bring the house down. Had the pleasure of meeting him in South Boston, Virginia what a thrill. What a great person. Drove 350 miles one way to see him after recouping from cancer, I told him this and he was so humble that I came all those miles to see him. Got a big kiss from him. You rock Delbert.
got a chance to party with delbert after a santa monica concert. What a blast and he sure can rock and the horn section plays plenty. I got him to play...Why Me at the house of blues in la got the whole damn place jumping !!!!!!! awesome
One guarantee way to get a crowd up and moving is playing Delbert!! Saw him in Carolina a while back and had a Great time. Also, that female Sax player is a real talent!!!
my very first record was a 45 rpm with the song Hey Baby by Bruce Channel - a young kid named Debert McClinton did the harmonica on the song. 45 cents but a real buy!
Totally agree. It's rockabillly, and he is the king. The only country singer I love, although I've come around to Ashley Monroe, Jamie McClain and the amazing Carolyn Wonderland.(Check her out!)
Great tune...great lyric...great performance...but, why even spend the money to hire a horn section, if you're not going to put them in the fat part of the mix. Probably not Delbert's fault...its a common mistake regularly made by "producer/engineers." Even if the idea for the song is to have the horns relegated to icing on the cake; the horns mixed that low is just an insult to the horn players who work their whole life to develop a big, dark, robust sound to add some meat and potatoes to a song.
