My first artist in the recently created Block music genre. A perfect example with ol' Delbert. Nice mix
bridging the gap of blues and rock music. This guy could never hit the big leagues, but he's been doing it
since the early 70's. This is his ninth studio album. There were no hits and the album reached a weak #181
on the chart here. A few covers which Delbert does an adequate job on. In The Midnight Hour doesn't come
close to Wilson Picketts, but may equal the Rascals. Only one standout with Heartbreak Radio (horns are
outstanding), and one clunker with Sandy Beaches. The rest is pretty good block music. Stevie Ray had
nothing on Delbert.
