| | Delbert McClinton Room To Breathe CD Delbert McClinton Discography of CDs
 (6 Customer Reviews)
ROOM TO BREATHE was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Forty years into a career that's found him going from teaching a young John Lennon how to play harmonica to winning a 2002 Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Recording, Delbert McClinton continues his extraordinary journey with the stellar ROOM TO BREATHE. Roots-rock devotees will find plenty to feast on, ranging from the lush, B.B. King-flavored "Everything I Know About The Blues" and pounding fat-back rockabilly of "Blues About You Baby" to the organ-driven shuffle "Same Kind Of Crazy."
Other entrees to feast on at this considerable buffet of tasty tunes are the stride-piano-soaked stroll "Ain't Lost Nothin'" (featuring a ripping Kim Wilson harp solo), simmering funk of "The Rub," Little Feat-like boogie of "Money Honey," and groove-soaked jump-blues of "New York City." The centerpiece of this wide-ranging outing is "Lone Star Blues," a twangy all-star tip of the hat to Texas featuring the talents of Steve Earle, The Flatlanders, Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris, and Rodney Crowell. ROOM TO BREATHE adds another considerable notch to Delbert McClinton's impressive output.

Rolling Stone (10/02, p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[Delbert McClinton] has rarely sounded as comfortable as he does here..."
Uncut (5/03, p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...ROOM TO BREATHE finds the Texan veteran rocking harder than ever....McClinton is a true original who makes roots music in its earthiest form..."
Living Blues (5/03, p.82) - "...It's a hell of a romp: the rockers rock like there's no tomorrow....Few contemporary artists can evoke this particular kind of blue-collar American roots-music better than Delbert McClinton..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/03, p.107) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...This raw, rowdy set greets the fates with a shuffling beat, a glarey old whiskey grin and the usual Texan disrespect for country/R&B genre frontiers..."

NOTHING PERSONAL won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
This Texas bluesman's long career is full of critically acclaimed recordings if not breakthrough commercial successes. Considering his perennial cult status, Delbert McClinton is to be commended for avoiding the crossover-bid celebrity-duets approach taking by so many other baby-boomer blues artists.
On NOTHING PERSONAL, as with the rest of his output, McClinton is more concerned with recording gritty, hard-hitting blues than with becoming a star. From the sharp, angular guitar riffs ...
| | Sonny Landreth Road We're On CD (2003)
Room To Breathe CD music
$15.05  
THE ROAD WE'RE ON was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Guitar whiz Sonny Landreth hails from the Mississippi/Louisiana region, and his ability to bridge swamp rock, blues, and zydeco is a reflection of his home area's rep as a wonderful melting pot of roots music. THE ROAD WE'RE ON affirms Landreth's ability to tap into this well of inspiration, and with slide in hand the charter member of John Hiatt's Goners puts on a dazzling display. "All About You" finds him using a growling guitar to shape a Stevie Ray Vaughan-flavored shuffle, the snappy ...

$11.99
WORLD WITHOUT TEARS was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Righteously" was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Though it's ultimately a less balladic, more stylistically varied album than its dreamy predecessor ESSENCE, WORLD WITHOUT TEARS starts out with a slow-burning, reverb-drenched ballad, but then takes a sharp turn into sensual lyricism, pounding drums, and churning guitar on "Righteously." For some time, the dominant topic of Lucinda Williams albums has been the edgy appeal of dangerous, often doomed men, and true to form there are ...

Room To Breathe songs
$12.59
Listening to the opening notes of Roger Wallace's The Lowdown creates something of a time warp. The music sounds like country formed in the tradition of George Jones and Merle Haggard, and one could easily imagine the title track fitting between "Bartender's Blues" and "The Fightin' Side of Me." But the album's credits, along with the clean, bright production, assures the listener that The Lowdown was cut in an up-to-date studio in 2002. On his third album, Wallace and his fellow travelers take a trip back to the 1950s and 1960s to explore a number ...
