D'lectrified is a 1999 (see 1999 in music) album by country singer Clint Black. It is also the first album in Black's career that he produced by himself.
The album was recorded entirely without electric instruments. "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," says 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 covers, ranging from a version of Waylon Jennings' "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" to Monty Python's "Galaxy Song"; The Marshall Tucker Band's "Bob Away My Blues" and Leon Russell's "Dixie Lullaby" are covered here as well. 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 friend Steve Wariner. Additionally, Black rearranged and re-recorded three previous songs of his 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.
