"The two most unlikely people to be in the same band, or for that matter, in the same room together, are Little Sammy Davis and Fred Scribner. Little Sammy, who is a blues singer in the tradition of the great Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters looks like a blues singer although he tells me he's never been in jail and does not have a drug habit. He does, however, have more harmonicas than teeth. And the broken-hearted women Sammy's left along the way easily outnumber his harmonicas. Women, I might Do add, who probably still like him about as much as I do. Which is a lot."Then there's Fred Scribner-the Midnight slim band's lead guitarist.In fact Fred IS MIDNIGHT SLIM-along with Sammy,of course.There are other People in the band but i have no idea who they are.Fred keeps kicking them out,so it's dificult to get to know their names.Also i might add,pointless.But back to Fred.Fred looks like he should be the manager of an Ace Hardware store.You know,the guy with the plastic pen holder stuffed full of Bics and two hundred keys hanging on his belt.And he's white.In fact,you can't be.But he can play the blues.Which i suppose proveswhat people can also get the blues-when they wreck theirBMW's,run out of polo shirts-whatever. The first time i heard the lead cut on this album,"I Aint' Lyin'",Sammy was sitting in my radio studio singing it with his headphones over his eyes.At first I thought he had a Ray Charles thing going on.I was relieved to learn the headphones simply did'nt fit.I loved the song.I still do.Both Fred and Sammy are as deserving as any two people i know of the success they are now enjoying.They indeed do belong in the same room,and together,but if i were Sammy,i'd insist on separate beds.-Don Imus[Imus in the Morning Radio Show"]
