Three-time Grammy award winner Delbert McClinton and Self-Made Men will release their newest recording, Prick Of The Litter. Prick Of The Litter contains 12 new songs that feature the soulful blend of blues, jazz, country and rock that has become synonymous with McClinton’ distinctive style. His songs and soul-stirring performances have connected with audiences across the country as well as his peers. Throughout the decades, McClinton has ridden the wave of major label success, penned songs that have been cut by successful country and blues artists, collaborated with artists ranging from Bonnie Raitt to Tanya Tucker and continued to create relevant and distinctive music.

The songs and vibe of Prick Of The Litter reflect a jazzier side of McClinton, beautifully capturing where the revered artist is in his life and career. The theme of romance, and his signature sense of humor shine throughout on songs such as ‘Middle Of Nowhere’ and “Like Lovin’ Used To Be” while on “Jones For You” McClinton describes a character giving up his vices and struggling to be a better man. The band’ use of space and groove inspired by Johnny Mercer, Nat King Cole and other crooners sets the stage for McClinton’ weathered vocal which has only gotten sweeter with time. Prick Of The Litter was recorded with the support of McClinton’ working band, Self- Made Men.
