Alexis Korner - Midnight special 1974

Alexis Korner - Midnight special 1974

'Midnight Special' is a traditional folk song thought to have

originated among prisoners in the American South

Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine devil on a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine devil on a light on me

Well, you wake up in the mornin',
you hear the ding dong ring,
And you are marching to the table
to see the same old thing.
Ain't no food upon the table,
and nothing in the pan.
But if you .. about it
you get in trouble with the man.

Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine devil on a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine devil on a light on me

Yonder come miss rosey,
How in the world do you know,
How I can tell about apron
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
A piece of paper in her hand,
as she went as a captain
said can't lose my man

Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine devil on a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine devil on a light on me

here Alexis was trying to finally give his own daughter and son a podium, which was only rightful considering what he had done for others over the years. But the business is tough and they had to learn their lesson just the same...

in the 60s AK had the same function as John Mayall: both weren´t much of a musician, but they were the ones who made the club-owners give them a gig, and they played it with young talented musicians, thus giving them a podium for their art. Find out who they were, and you´ll find out who Alexis was.

he Ihr wixxxer - das is purer emotionaler Blues

[mark030162]

Dreadful! Shouting, out of tune vocals and primary school guitar playing. This performance explains why AK lost the acclaim he'd gained from his earlier exploits with Blues Incorporated.....
