MIDNITE BLUES PARTY - volume one
- Electro-Fi Records - For volume one of “Midnite Blues Party” I approached
Andrew
Galloway a few years ago with the idea of adding a new
dimension of adding something different for his label, which had
mainly focused on contemporary artists with the thought of a
historical concept to his ever-growing record label. I thought that
releasing a CD of rare and obscure vintage tracks from my personal
collection of 45’s and 78’s that were virtually unknown to the Blues
world would be a great idea for Electro-Fi to consider. After
listening to several hours of ultra-rare material from 45’s that I
had put on ten cassettes from my collection we decided on a number
of tracks, we finally decided on the 27 tracks that
would appear on the first “Midnite Blues Party” .

As the title says, this is a Blues party, a midnight-to-dawn
shebang with plenty of liquor, sandwiches, chicken, beer, and
cigarette smoke clouding the room. A wild CD ride that will
light up backyard barbecues given by the geritol set and Blues
lovers of all ages. The best performances are too numerous to list.
These tracks will make even the musically dead rock their shoulders
like robots. You may need to take a break after listening to about
five of these ruthless juke joints in a row, as there is no letup
from track one to track 27; even the slow-rollers are sobering and
could double as wake-up calls. As essential as water for jump Blues
lovers'. - Andrew Hamilton
