Veteran performer treks through blues, swing, jazz, and country with the support of his band, the Self Made Men + Dana
Courtesy of Shore Fire*, out July 26th, as “kind of a salute to Texas blues, the music I grew up on.” With respect to the always-succinct McClinton, it’s much more than that. As with his 2017 effortthe singer/songwriter/harmonica wizard shifts deftly between styles, smoothly segueing from straight-up blues to swing, country and jazz with the confidence of a master. It’s not a stretch to say that McClinton, at age 78, is making the best music of his career.
That’s particularly high praise from an artist who’s maintained a presence in recorded music more than 50 years. McClinton quickly etched his name in musical history for giving Beatle John Lennon a few pointers on the harmonica when he toured overseas with singer Bruce Channel in the early 1960s. Since then, McClinton has scored three Grammy awards, released a slew of albums and recorded with Bonnie Raitt, Tanya Tucker and others.
“On ‘Lulu,’ I was kind of thinking of Mose Allison,” McClinton explains. “When I was phrasing it, he was the one who came to mind for me. The song is slow and hypnotic, and it was so much fun to sing.” The sly playfulness is easily detected as McClinton delivers the key line, “I don’t care where you go/but you can’t stay here.”
