Big Bill Broonzy - The Midnight Special: Live In Nottingham 1957

Limited edition violet vinyl pressing!

Mastered from the original analog tape by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering

Pressed at Furnace Record Pressing, liner notes by Larry Jaffee

A major influence on artists Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Rod Stewart and others!

Born in Mississippi, "Big Bill Broonzy" — the name refers to his 6' 6" physical stature — remains largely unsung as far as a household name, despite recording several hundred songs, many of which he wrote. From the late 1920s through the late 1950s, this immensely prolific blues performer won over fellow musicians and "race music" fans alike. As mentor to Muddy Waters and a major influence on artists like Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Rod Stewart, Broonzy's impact on music cannot be understated.

This solo performance captures Big Bill's affable personality and ability to hold the attention of an appreciative audience with his storytelling, acoustic guitar licks, and a strong singing voice that leaves an indelible impression that this man had experiences in the fields, the factories, and the railroads. The record was mastered from original analog tape by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering, and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing. Liner notes by Larry Jaffee. Limited edition violet vinyl pressing.
