CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Soul Blues classic features bass and production by Bill Laswell, rock solid drums by 20-year Parliment-Funkadelic alumnus Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey, and horn arrangements and flute of Henry Threadgill, and material from Sly Stone to James Brown to Mick Jagger. Lucky Peterson seems to have set fire to the past with Black Midnight Sun ? a molten slab of unusual and, dare we say it, slightly twisted updates of a fistful of electric blues, rock, soul and funk classics. Laced with alternating flashes of dark introspection and spiritual redemption, a good deal of the music here almost perfectly encapsulates, given the tumultuous chain of world events of the last two years, the mixture of uneasiness and expectation so prevalent in today's political and socio-economic climates. Lucky Peterson ? Guitar, Organ, Electric Piano, synthesizer, & Vocal Bill Laswell ? Bass Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey ? Drums Henry Threadgill ? Horn Arrangements Alex J. Harding, Graham Haynes, Jesse Dulman & Henry Threadgill ? Horns Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsHopefully *not* the future of blues D. Manley | 02/14/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "I was really disappointed by this recording - the songs are tired, and the effects on Bill Laswell's bass single handedly ruins the mix. I don't know what Laswell thought he was doing, it is that bad. On the first 10 seconds of the first song it sounds interesting but then it overpowers and dominates. It is a blurry mess of phased, flanged, who-knows-what, over processed, boomy bass noodling. Skip this one, trust me. You'll be taking it to the used record store in a week." GOOD BUT PATCHY HANS D HARMS | runaway bay, QLD Australia | 08/13/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "There are a number of outstanding tracks on this CD : HERBERT HARPERS......., IS IT BECAUSE I'M BLACK, BLACK MIDNIGHT SUN, TALKING LOUD AND SAYING NOTHING, TRULY YOUR FRIEND. They are worth 5 stars. Some of the other tracks border on 1 / 2 stars and bring the rest of the CD down. The skip button gets a workout for LUCKY IN LOVE ( it was [bad] when MICK JAGGER released the single ages ago and got worse with age ), SHE'S A BURGLAR ( blues dross ) and some of the others are barely acceptable. The musicianship is uniformly great and LUCKY sure is a talented musician. His guitar / keyboard playing is first class as is his singing. I just wish he had picked a better range of covers to do his talents justice"
