Midnight Son

Search: Trying To Make A Fool Of Me
by: Son Seals

Release Date October 17, 1990
Midnight Son was the album that garnered attention to Son Seals, and thirty years later, it's still evident what the fuss was about.

Seals scorches the earth with his playing. "Going Back Home" is an alltime classic, with the guitar seeming to be as sad as Seals is as his tells his hard-luck story. "Telephone Angel" also delivers tasty guitar licks that seem to indicate joy just as much as "Going Back Home" indicates sadness.

Diabetes took a great talent from us way too soon. But Midnight Son remains a testament to the great blues he put down while he was here.

1949-1954

Search: Trying To Make A Fool Of Me
by: Titus Turner

Release Date September 20, 2005
Titus Turner was an East Coast R&B singer based in NYC. He had a couple of medium-level chart hits, but they came after these recordings were made. This CD collects all his recordings from 1949, when he cut his first sides billed as Mr. T., up to 1954.

There's an old saying in the jazz world that those who can't play well usually just play loud. That's pretty much the way Turner sings. To compensate for a lack of natural ability he tends to not only over sing everything, but to employ affectation (moans, fake crying, overdubbing, exaggerated glissandi) in his vocals. Right from the beginning his singing is unnatural: on the first two sides he sounds like a Billy Eckstine wannabe, but a way over the top Eckstine, as if he were doing ... Read More:
