One of those influential "musician's musician" types, vocalist/harp-player
Delbert McClinton was able to call on the likes of
Bonnie Raitt,
Tom Petty and
Melissa Etheridge for support on
Never Been Rocked Enough. The results cover the whole checkerboard while remaining vintage
McClinton: his harp wails on "Everytime I Roll the Dice"; "Can I Change My Mind" flirts with Motown soul; "Blues as Blues Can Get" defines the confessional blues ballad; "I Used to Worry" and the title track chug into
Band/
Little Feat territory. The disc also includes the performer's Grammy winning duet with
Bonnie Raitt, "Good Man, Good Woman." ~ Roch Parisien
