The Grammy winner Mike Henderson's Last Nite at the Bluebird – Live is a recording of Henderson's storied Monday-night residency at Nashville's intimate Bluebird Café. It presents multitrack recordings captured during his nearly 30-year run, and distills Henderson's slide-guitar fire and roadhouse humor—he quips that "some nights, lightning strikes twice. This was one of 'em."
Mike Henderson was a Grammy™ winner, a two-time CMA award winner, a four-time Grammy nominee, an IBMA award winner, a two-time ACM nominee and a multi-platinum, #1 hit songwriter and musician. 
The latest three albums in Qualified Records’ impressive catalog of now twelve, arrive together, each offering distinctive, splendid takes on American roots and blues music. Qualified plays key roles in the careers and livelihoods of the artists they work with, offering a full range of services that include a studio with a magnificent house band, production, marketing, and a focus on the artist’s profitability and legacy. Owned and operated by celebrated roots and blues pianist Kevin McKendree and songwriter/producer John Heithaus, the company’s business plan is unique, and very admirable. But superb music remains their focus. “We always try to create music that we would want to hear,” says McKendree. In their three years of operation, that has meant albums by artists with their hearts 100% invested in real, “qualified” music.  Heart was at the center of everything Mike Henderson did. That his cardiac muscle literally gave out suddenly a year and a half ago remains shocking and sad. A musical chameleon, Henderson wrote a rich bounty of songs, wrangled the heavens and hell out of the strings of a guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, and sang with unbridled conviction. He applied it all to a mix of country, bluegrass, and the blues. Bottomless, high-octane blues, which is what Last Nite at the Bluebird – Live! is all about. This collection of highlights from Henderson’s final Monday night residency shows at the legendary Nashville songwriter’s forum display the goods for anyone not lucky enough to attend one. Like a lit match thrown into a hayloft, Henderson’s voice and guitar tones instantly set the small room aflame. Henderson’s intent with a song, whether on his own, with the SteelDrivers, or for his former bandmate in the SteelDrivers, Chris Stapleton, was to entertain with a purpose. The very idea of “Pay Bo Diddley” (molded from “Hey Bo Diddley”) and his steel rending guitar solo in it, are both thrown down firmly, the sounds of it nearly otherworldly. Throughout eight wicked songs, sequenced and unedited as if you were there, this band comprised of Henderson, Pat O’Connor on drums, Steve Mackey on bass, and Kevin McKendree on piano, takes possession of the music, and the 90 in attendance. Hopefully, there will be more to come.
