Big Bill Broonzy - The Midnight Special: Live In Nottingham 1957 - LP

A rare 1957 solo concert from the towering Mississippi bluesman, recorded in Nottingham, England.

The Midnight Special captures Big Bill Broonzy alone on stage in 1957, his warm storytelling, nimble acoustic guitar, and powerful voice holding an English audience rapt. Moving through folk-blues standards like "This Train," "C.C. Rider," and the title track, it's an indelible document of an artist who carried the blues from the fields to the world stage — recorded just months before his death.
