Nigel,

Excellent.

Great use of BIAB. Terrific mix.

Good vocal and BGVs. Tasty licks from the dobro. Bass is nice and punchy.

Really enjoyed the listen. Very well done.

Midnight Special as sung by Antoine Domino Jr.
This version has that almost talk/acting vocal style that Fats often employed with different degrees of success.
It can make the song seem more personal and connected to the listener.
I like the almost country blues of this one.


Cheers

Wow Nigel, you did some research on that song!
I only think you forgot to mention one other musician; Nigel Spiers...

Who can't love this song?

Surprisingly not mentioned is the first version I heard by Johnny Rivers in 1964 when I was in high school. As I recall it was a major hit.

Nice mellow interpretation.

Hi Janice and Bud,

Yeah he did a version but not my favourite. The one that really grabs me is (of all people) Bobby Darin:

For pure showmanship and feel this is my #1

Have a listen.
