Like the sons of Texas stars Jerry Jeff Walker and Waylon Jennings, Clay McClinton is following in the huge boot prints of his legendary father, Delbert, to pursue a career in Texas roots. [T]here is no denying whats in the blood.... With Son of a Gun. . . McClinton demonstrates his stellar honky-tonk credentials on songs like `One of Those Guys,` and `Dig Deep,` His R&B genetics shine through impressively on `Howlin at the Moon,` a tune with a distinctive Delbert-style groove -- not surprising since its a collaborative effort with dad. . . Escaping the long shadow cast by a music icon can be tough going, but with Son of a Gun, this chip off the old block is wasting little time carving out a name for himself. -- Patrick Cosgrove, Austin Music Magazine
