Three-time Grammy® Award winning artist Delbert McClinton has released his latest album Acquired Taste. It's his first new studio recording in over four years. The new record, available August 18th from New West Records, was produced by Grammy® Award winning producer Don Was (Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt). Acquired Taste was released as a 14-track CD as well as a deluxe CD/DVD with never before seen performances from one of his Austin City Limits TV appearances.

The album is a juke joint blend of country soul, infused with blues, rock and jazz. McClinton, one of the greatest American vocalists, showcases his versatile voice on ballads like "Starting A Rumor" and "Never Saw It Comin'", while he jazzes things up on tracks including "Mama's Little Baby" and "Until Then."

McClinton, who can be heard on vocals, guitar and harmonica, calls on his seasoned band, Dick50, to back him on the new record; Lynn Williams (drums), Steve Mackey (bass), Kevin McKendree (keyboards, lead guitar on "Cherry Street") and Rob McNelley (guitar, background vocals on "When She Cries At Night"). McClinton is also joined by several guest musicians including his longtime friend Stephen Bruton, who plays guitar and sings background vocals on "Can't Nobody Say I Didn't Try." Also on the album: Dennis Taylor (sax on " People Just Love To Talk"), Michito Sanchez (percussion on "Do It," "Mama's Little Baby," "Until Then" & "Starting A Rumor"), Maxine and Julia Waters (background vocals on "Starting A Rumor" & "Mama's Little Baby") and Tom Hambridge (drums on "Mama's Little Baby" & "She's Not There Anymore"). Audio samples from the CD are now available.

I saw Delbert at a little club in Asheville called, Be Here Now several years ago. It was fucking packed and when I left I could only whisper and was soaking in sweat. Fuck yeah.
