*******************************
For nearly 50 years, 3-time Grammy® award-winning, Roadhouse/Roots/Rock legend, Delbert McClinton has been playing to everything from packed honky tonks to opera houses. He is a revered figure among his musical colleagues.
He is said to have taught John Lennon licks on the harp as well as being the inspiration for the Blues Brothers, who honed their act on stage with him at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC in the 70's.
Since 1995, he has leased a cruise ship and filled it full of his musical friends and fans and thrown a floating music festival and retreat. From 11a.m. 'til 3 a.m., every day for 7 days, they rock the boat in the Caribbean. If you ask many cruisers where the ship is going they don't know. Most don't even care.
Rocking the Boat combines interviews with Delbert's fellow road warriors, as well as 21 live shipboard performances from the likes of Delbert, Rodney Crowell, Marcia Ball, Stephen Bruton, Jeffrey Steele and many others. The cast represents some of the best and most successful singer/songwriters working today. These artist are fiercely independent and have made many choices in favor of artistic integrity over commerce.
RTB was shot with 5 cameras in HD (this release is standard def). Two designated 24-track audio packages were used to capture live shows that will rock your world.
In 2007, RTB opened the 37th Annual USA Film Festival, won best documentary at the 16th Woods Hole Film Festival, and was also selected by the Breckenridge, Lone Star International, and Dixie Film festivals.
