About this album

Second Wind finds Delbert McClinton sharpening his blend of country rock, southern rock and bruised soul into one of his most convincing late-1970s statements. Released in 1978, the album shows the Texas singer-songwriter leaning on gritty phrasing, tough bar-band energy and a feel for roots material that makes familiar songs sound newly lived-in. His version of Spoonful sits alongside originals such as “B” Movie and It Ain’t Watcha Eat But the Way How You Chew It, underlining the record’s loose but deliberate confidence. Second Wind helped confirm McClinton as a distinctive interpreter and songwriter with a sound that bridged honky-tonk, rhythm and blues and straight-ahead rock.
