D'lectrified is the eighth studio album by American country music singer Clint Black, released on September 28, 1999. It is also the first album in Black's career that he produced by himself.
The album was recorded entirely without electric instruments, hence the title. "There is not a single electric instrument on the album, but you wouldn't know it unless you were told. It is truly, totally unplugged," said Black. It was recorded entirely in ten weeks, "the fastest I'd ever done an album".
The album is an eclectic mix of material. In addition to a selection of new songs, it contains a number of cover versions, including a version of Waylon Jennings' "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", Monty Python's "Galaxy Song", The Marshall Tucker Band's "Bob Away My Blues" and Leon Russell's "Dixie Lullaby". It also has several collaborations, including the hits "When I Said I Do", a duet with Black's wife, Lisa Hartman Black, and "Been There", a duet with his friend Steve Wariner. Black also rearranged and re-recorded three previous songs of his own in the album's bluesier style.
While not as commercially successful as many of his other works, D'lectrified still became Black's eighth album to be certified gold by the RIAA.
