Synopsis

Album Description
Reissue of Midnight Choir's debut album, recorded in Fredericksburg/Texas in 1994 and produced by Andrew Hardin, guitar player for Tom Russell (amongst others). While it is surprising for a norwegian band to record in Texas it also makes a lot of sense, because Midnight Choir was highly influenced by Texas music and Americana at the time. So we have Paal Flaata's magic voice floating through American roots music, some of it written by others: Gene Clark's 'Gypsy Rider' seems tailormade for Flaata's voice, 'Turning Of Tide' (Richard Thompson) is American-ized and 'Hearts Gone Wild' by Katy Moffatt & Tom Russell gets a nice treatment. But they were also already finding their own style, with three gorgeous sundown-in-the-death-valley-style ballads that came at the end of this disc, :'Mercy On The Street', 'Lonesome Drifter' and 'Lift Me Up'. Glitterhouse Records.
