I love Delbert McClinton!

[supernova]

:D

He's a guest on Prairie Home Companion this weekend. I don't know if it's a repeat or not. But man, that guy just gets better and better!

1. Repeat

From October 2001. Great show and Delbert is hot.

3. I figured

just listening to him talk about his recent heart surgery. :silly:

That's the same show with the NPR bit imitating Linda Wertheimer getting ansty with sattellite delay. :D LOL!

Delbert is perhaps the best Texas export.

GIVIN' IT UP FOR YOUR LOVE
(Written by Jerry Lyn Williams)
Delbert McClinton


Givin' it up for your love, everything.
Givin' it up for your love, right now.
Givin' it up for your love, I said everything!
Givin' it up for your love, right now.
Right now.

My heart is achin' for you
I can't stand it.
I need your lovin',
And I so demand it.

I'm givin' it up for your love, everything.
I'm givin' it up for your love, right now.
I'm givin' it up for your love, everything!
I'm givin' it up for your love, right now.

Well I thought about it,
Ah, you know I ain't playin'.
You better listen to me,
Every word I been saying.
Hot is cold and cold is hot.
I'm a little bit stuck,
But I give it everything I got.
Don't want your money, baby,
Don't need your cars,
I'm doin' all right,
Doin' all right so far.

I'm givin' it up for your love, everything.
I'm givin' it up for your love, right now.
Givin' it up for your love, everything!
Givin' it up for your love, somehow.

I know you told me, that you'd always love me,
And I believed it was true.
So I saved the best, and I'm greatful.
My love's only just for you.
Come back here; come back, real quick.
My heart is aching, but my body's feeling weak.
I'll be all right, yes, I'll be ok.
Come on now, baby, listen to what I say.
Don't want your money, baby,
Don't need your cars,
Been doin' all right,
Doin' all right so far.

I'm givin' it up for your love, everything.
I'm givin' it up for your love, right now.
I'm givin' it up for your love, I said, everything!
Givin' it up for your love, somehow.

I''m givin' it up for your love, I said, everything!
Im Givin' it up for your love, right now.
ImGivin' it up for your love, everything!
Givin' it up for your love, somehow.

I'm givin' it up for your love, everything.
I'm givin' it up for your love, right now.

I'm givin' it up for your love, everything.

7. Somebody recently gave me

that CD. It's currently in my car rotation. I must admit I probably look a little silly when I get too carried away at stoplights. ;-)

4. Another Delbert fan checking in.

6. "She's so fine and healthy..."

We like him, too!
:hi:

[supernova]

9. Speaking of Don Was

I think I just heard Garrison say DW was backing him up! :thumbsup:

[bobthedrummer]

10. He's worked with a lot of greats in one capacity or another

not just a producer.
:hi:

[Dudley_DUright]

8. Me too

I saw him at the B.B. King blues club in NY last fall. It was a dynamite show. His keyboard player is probably the best I have ever seen.
