Delbert McClinton

Much has happened with Delbert McClinton since the first edition of Delbert McClinton: One Of The Fortunate Few was released in 2017. That year, Rolling Stone called him "The Godfather of Americana Music," and in 2019, he received the Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award. He received a Grammy(R) in 2020 for Best Traditional Blues Album.

This new in paper edition includes a new foreword, two new chapters, and several updates.

"Delbert McClinton's many fans will find One of the Fortunate Few reaffirming, shedding light on a truly selfless, generous soul. Those unfamiliar with Delbert will be instantly drawn to him and will undoubtedly seek out his music and touring schedule.

His story is of endurance, sacrifice, perseverance, and ultimately success in the unforgiving often cruel music business."--Elmore Magazine
