"It only seems right that a musical colossus like Delbert McClinton would come from the state where everything is bigger, Texas. It was his Texas upbringing that brought him sounds ranging from blues to jazz, rock, country and Western swing, all of which he has incorporated into his unique style of play. After being inundated with these styles as a youth, McClinton soon was on stage at local night spots entertaining audiences from rednecks to blues lovers with his talent. He first saw time on the charts as the backing harmonica for Bruce Channel's 1962 single ""Hey! Baby."" He travelled around Europe at this time and even shows some of his style tricks to a then-unknown John Lennon.A decade after his appearance on ""Hey! Baby,"" McClinton teamed up with another Ft. Worth native, Glen Clark to form the duo Delbert and Glen. They went to Los Angeles in order to release two albums under Atlantic Records before returning home. McClinton soon had his own record deal with ABC Records, where he released his first solo album, Victim of Life's Circumstances, in 1975. The album announced him to the mainstream music scene, and led to numerous accolades.He also had his songs covered by musicians like Emmylou Harris. He continued releasing albums into the early 1980s, after which he took a break. He was back by the end of the decade with the release of Live From Austin in 1989, which earned him a Grammy nomination. In the early 1990s, he won a Grammy for his duet with Bonnie Raitt called ""Good Man/Good Woman."" Another duet, ""Tell Me About it,"" this time with Tanya Tucker, was a top country hit as well during the same time. Since 2001, he has had four different albums on the charts, showing that this legend still has more to give."
