Add your review here. A breath of relief, Delbert's back! Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 15th, 2005 Now, this is more like it Delbert! Although many critics praised "Nothing personal", I think this album is far superior to that album as Mcclinton gets his niche back again. The opening "Same kind of crazy" epitomizes that Delbert R & B drive and you can hear Bekka very good on this song, just as you can on the next number "Smooth talk" which is slower and a bouncy grower that works fast on you. "Jungle room" is a slow thumper but I dont think I've heard it for long enough yet to say whether the horns work on this one or not. "Everything I know about the blues" is effective in it's slow bar room style and although there's an odd fade in on "Blues about you baby" at the beginning, this swinging boogie works well. "Lone star blues" is a fiddle led Country bouncer and "The rub" has a strumming groove which works well with the horns. "Won't be me" is a fairly fast thumper but it sounds thin and doesn't work as good as some of the other tracks. "Don't want to love you" is a surprising piano ballad with nicely added strings, acoustic guitar and the brushes feel. "Ain't lost nothin'" is a slow shuffle with a New Orleans feel. Rhythmically, this song is not different to many Elmore James numbers Jeremy Spencer covered while with the Mac. "Money honey" is a promising fast crashing ditty but that thin sound comes back and it's tinny noise hurts it overall. However, the good time sound returns for the swinging horn led stomp "New York city" as a fitting closer. This album for the most part has a great feel like his "One of the fortunate few" album did six years ago, but there's less Country and more R & B with winning electric piano sprinkled throughout. You'll like this one.
