About this album

The Jealous Kind is a strong showcase for Delbert McClinton’s hard-earned blend of Texas R&B, soul and bayou funk. Released in 1980, the album builds on the rough-edged, road-tested style that made him a cult favourite, balancing punchy rhythms with a voice full of grit and character. Its mix of originals and carefully chosen covers shows McClinton’s gift for making familiar material feel fresh, while the title track and songs such as “Giving It Up For Your Love” helped underline his reputation as a soulful interpreter and songwriter. The result is one of the albums that best captures his crossover between rock, rhythm and blues and swampy Southern groove.
