Bio

The quintessential Texas blues rocker, McClinton has known few genre boundaries during his more than five decade-spanning career with threads of country, rock, pop soul, folk and jazz abounding. One of his notable credits is the creation of the harmonica riff heard on Bruce Channel’s 1962 #1 hit “Hey! Baby,” recorded in his native Ft. Worth. The riff provided the inspiration for the similar one heard on the Beatles’ “Love Me Do,” as played by John Lennon under the tutelage of Delbert McClinton.

Cost of Living, the eighteenth album in the career of Grammy® winning artist Delbert McClinton was be released by New West Records in August 2005. The album, produced by the artist and Gary Nicholson, was the first new studio recording by McClinton in over three years and won the Grammy award for Best Contemporary Blues album. New West released Delbert McClinton Live in 2003 but the last studio recording from McClinton was 2002’s Room To Breathe which also earned a Grammy nomination in the Contemporary Blues category. Its 2001 predecessor, Nothing Personal was awarded the Grammy that year in the same category. Nine years earlier, McClinton’s vocal collaboration with Bonnie Raitt on “Good Man, Good Woman” (from Raitt’s Luck of the Draw) earned him his first Grammy.
