"I'm absolutely convinced that Delbert McClinton had no controlover the release of this CD. I rated it 1 star simplybecause there is no 0 star rating ! In actuality , I am not certain that the vocalist on this recording IS Delbert McClinton. Only on the Mr. Pitiful track is there any similarity at all to Delbert's voice. This is the perfect CD for someone with money to burn who would like to have a recording of a 1960's garage band recorded in a garage and who should be working in a garage ! Delbert fans...run fast and run far away from this ! END"

"Yes, this is the early works of Delbert when he was making records with Bruce Channel and others. In fact, Bruce sings lead vocal on some of these tunes before the days of "Hey Baby". This is raw work recorded in the basement of Major Bill's home. This or the "Crazy Cajun Recordings" is a must for die-hard Delbert fans who appreciate how much he has musically developed over a long career."

For hard-core fans only...

"McClinton had been around a long time before "Giving It Up For Your Love" and this is a collection of those early songs. He was part of several minor hits by artists like The Ron-Dels and Bruce Channel. It's mostly 60's pop, garage rock and a little country. About half of it is covers such as Twist & Shout, This Boy and These Boots Are Made for Walkin'. I wouldn't recommend this, half the songs are sung by someone else but I did learn that Sonny Boy Williamson taught Delbert how to play the harp and in turn, Del taught John Lennon how to play. For hard-core fans only."
