  • "Givin It Up For Your Love" from Delbert McClinton's 'Live From Austin Texas' performance. Buy it today on Amazon amzn.to/1djG43D or iTunes smarturl.it/DelbertLFAT.
    You can call Delbert's music "Texas roadhouse blues" if you want to, but you might as well give up trying to pin a label on this guy. Delbert finally hit the spotlight thanks to big-time fan John Belushi, who brought him to Saturday Night Live and millions of new fans. His single "Givin' It Up For Your Love" hit the Top 10 and gave him his first real taste of commercial success. But the Delbert sound isn't what you'd exactly call mainstream. His wailing harp and gutsy vocals will take you to the edge, and he'll keep you on your feet. This high-octane Austin City Limits performance from December 18, 1982 turned the audience into a dance floor and kept the adrenaline flowing all night.

    Saw Delbert in about 1981 in Athens GA. He was knee-walking drunk, could barely stand up. But he never missed a note. Before the first song he looked at the audience and said, "Y'all don't think I can do it, do you?" He did.

    you know what is awesome about 70's music? the top 40 charts might have a bluesy song like this great one, a stevie wonder song, a donny osmond song, a country crossover, a novelty song... in other words, the charts were one big melting pot, so as a youngster i was introduced to many genres just by listening to the radio. nowadays it's the same cookie cutter stuff and most of it is crap. i really feel sorry for young people of today.

    I became a Delbert fan in the late 70s when a friend in high school introduced me to his music. I've seen him live 3 or 4 times and it is always a great show. The man is an institution. This is one of my favorite songs of his too...needs more cowbell though. ;-)

    I was a student at U of Alabama in 1979 and he gave an outdoor concert in Tuscaloosa. I'm not sure if the audience knew him that well at the time....He played a set then took a break, and low and behold walked into the crowd during the hiatus. He stood right next to me and I think he was smoking a cigarette, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I remember thinking this dude is extremely cool to walk out into the crowd and just chill during the break. I remember speaking to him but don't know what we said, I just observed he was really approachable and very cool. I'm positive he played "giving it up for your love" that day, I'll never forget it.

    Loved doing this song with the “Goodtimes Band out of Augusta Ga. We played a variety of music during the 70’s-80’s for weddings, Shrine and Elks clubs, American Legions etc. From a distance our sax player, Hugh Inglet glasses hair and all favored this guy. He could blow note for note on all those great songs. One of our favorites Hugh got us to learn was “Shaky Ground” which he used his new style tape machine sound effects. Great memories.

It's not like they have a ton of extra money that almost all of the other Major league teams don't have.

We had a great time playing and Don was easy goin, a master of his instrument and just a lot of fun to work with. We were all thrilled when he got the call to join up with Delbert.
