Delbert McClinton with opener Wendy Colonna

Three-time Grammy winner Delbert McClinton’s 28th album, Blind, Crippled and Crazy, set for release on Jone 18 on New West Records, blends R&B, country, blues and rock ‘n’ roll with humor, heart and roadhouse virtuosity. The disc also reunited McClinton with his longtime friend and musical running partner Glen Clark, making these 12 songs the first time the seminal roots music duo Delbert and Glen have recorded since 1973.

McClinton became an international star in the realms of blues and traditional country music, cross-pollinating the genres into his own unique sound. Since 1980, when his sixth solo album The Jealous Kind sparked the top 10 hit “Givin’ It Up for Your Love,” he has remained one of the most respected figures in American roots music. In addition to winning three Grammy Awards, McClinton’s songs have been recorded by a who’s who of country music royaly including Vince Gill, Wynonna Judd, Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris, Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood.
