Notes & Personnel Info |  | A collection of brooding chill-out blues classics, Late Night Blues has a weary, broken-down feel perfect for the wee hours of the morning when all the bars are closed, when the night is shading forward toward dawn, and there is nothing at all that can be done about anything except sleep an exhausted sleep, but sleep just won't come. That's the tone here, and with classics like Lil Green's "Romance in the Dark," Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell's "Midnight Hour Blues," and Big Joe Williams' trademark "Please Don't Go," the ennui of the moment is captured perfectly. Don't expect to be cheered up by it all, though, because this set is more about proving that misery loves company. ~ Steve Leggett |
