LONNIE SHIELDS, The top Delta Blues Man. Who could in turn be soulful, sweet, funky or low-down and bluesy. MIDNIGHT DELIGHT casts Lonnie Shields back to into the realm of Southern Soul-Blues where he first made his mark, and brings him again squarely to the crossroads he sings about in the album's closing song LOOKING UP AT THE BLUES.
Down in the Delta, the blues covers ground ranging from ballads to boogies, and this notable release from Rooster Blues Records proves that no one combs the down-home musical landscape better than Arkansas' Lonnie Shields. A well-kept secret since his exceptional debut recording in 1993, Portrait (named Album of the Year by Living Blues magazine), Shields is bound to break through to the vastly larger audience he deserves with the richly textured sounds and seductions of his latest effort, Midnight Delight. As varied in his styles as his late mentor, Frank Frost, he offers up dark danceable blues (like "I'm Bad" and "What Am I Gonna Do with All These Women?"), engaging soul ("Midnight Delight," "Woman, I Want to Talk to You"), and irresistible radio-ready fare ("Flowers in the Rain," "Long, Lonesome Road"). On this recording, Shields showcases a level of musicianship and songwriting lyricism rarely attained by peers of far greater renown. --Alan
