Music Review: 'Nothing Personal'

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Delbert Mcclinton; Genre: Country

McClinton's first new album in three years finds the king of ripsaw vocals exploring every greasy corner of his roadhouse sound, from sly Texas 'tonk and swamp boogie to Memphis moaners and elegant uptown blues. Best when detailing love's seamy side, McClinton also shines in his vulnerable moments, especially on the soul ballad ''Don't Leave Home Without It.'' B+
