Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Why are we limited to 5 stars? After Delbert's last album (One of the Fortunate Few), I didn't think it was possible to get any better. I was wrong! Nothing Personal is DMac at his best, and it is nothing BUT personal - you have to live life to sing the blues, and our man sings and writes like he's been rode hard and put away wet. When Rita Leaves will probably get the most attention (and it deserves attention) but don't overlook the pure Delbert lyrics on Livin' It Down, or gems like Birmingham Tonight, Read Me My Rights, or my sleeper-pick, Don't Leave Home Without It. This is beautiful sound and as real as it gets. Rating: - Getting Personal Nothing Personal is a refreshing look at an unparalleled musical style--close your eyes an listen to the piano on the Birmingham Tonight cut--it takes you to another place, another time. In an age when music is not even music anymore, and rap is even considered a musical category at the Grammy Awards, this album is like a cool drink in a hot, dry desert. The gifted musicians and the artist on this release use their talents to produce an easy blend that leaves you wanting more. I love this music. Thank you, Delbert for making this album, it's a rare treat! Rating: - Delbert McClinton's Still Got It! Delbert McClinton may never record a truly great album, but he's come close a couple of times, but he'll never make a bad one. The sixty-year-old Texan has been making music for forty years, and if his blend of classic rhythm & blues, country, and rock & roll is not highly original, its never less than believable and sincere. Blessed with a solid set of pipes, McClinton is still one of the finest white r&b singers of the last few decades. He also plays a mean harmonica (He gave pointers on the instrument to a young John Lennon in 1962, prior to the recording of the Beatles' first single). "Nothing Personal" is one of the best albums of McClinton's long career. He wrote or co-wrote all thirteen songs, with the opening "Livin' It Down," "When Rita Leaves" and "Birmingham Tonight" this listener's favorites. There is no groundbreaking music here, but that's besides the point. Most artists would be glad to make music this gritty, real and fun at any point in their careers. The closest that Delbert McClinton ever came to a hit single was over two decades ago, when " Givin' It Up For Your Love" almost climbed the charts. Given current tastes, nothing here is going to change that. Delbert has also had bad luck with record companies, as several have folded or reorganized with McClinton's latest recording barely on the streets. He's on a new, independent label with "Nothing Personal" and I'll keep my fingers crossed for him. Certainly McClinton's fans will want to own this, but anyone who enjoys well-crafted, soulful r&b and rock will enjoy "Nothing Personal."
