Quietly lurking in the shadows of the Texas music scene, the humble yet immensely talented Clay McClinton hits a home run with his newest release, Livin Out Loud. Methodically planning his own musical destination since he was a teenager Clay keeps a mental notebook full of tips from his dad and has used them wisely in conjunction with his genetic inheritance. He s a natural born songwriter and his personable, distinctive voice bears intriguing warmth. In fact, there is warmth to this entire CD, a sign of someone who is comfortable with himself, combined with a natural ability for turning autobiographical stories into songs with appealing hooks and melodies. While he rarely mentions his heritage on stage, Clay is a part of an elite group of offspring who have well-known musical fathers or mothers. The parents deserve immense credit for raising sons and daughters with character, but credit the kids themselves for having the guts to make their own sound. By Tracie Ferguson --Lone Star Music Magazine - Sept. 2010
