Delbert lets the freedom of the blues ring

Delbert lets the freedom of the blues ring Teddy Allen View Comments Happy Fourth of July to you and to one of our favorite bluesmen, Delbert McClinton, who recently announced his retirement from singing and playing and romanticizing honky tonks, Cajuns, and the rockin’ harmonica. If you don’t know Delbert, it might be too late to catch up.
