Like a true-life version of Forrest Gump, Delbert McClinton witnessed, and even influenced, some of the most pivotal moments in modern music history. It’s not just his ability to write songs, play guitar, harmonica, and the piano; it’s also his warm, soulful voice that affords him his loyal fanbase. Possibly the most frequently covered of Delbert’s songs is the modern classic “You Were Never Mine” and Leo Romano delivers his interpretation superbly.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love Delbert McClinton and those who haven’t heard him yet. I mean Let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy ‘a bit of Delbert’! Leo Romano’s music is a hybrid of rock, country, and blues, though that’s much too analytical for this roadhouse. Sung and played throughout with sass and a knowing grin, this is music that speaks to everyone.
