Crap! I wish I'd heard this album back then! A friend came to see the band last Saturday night and remarked how much our female singer reminded him of Maggie Bell. I told him I remembered her albums but had never heard her. Well, a few days later he was kind enough to bring me this and "Suicide Sal" (coming soon!) for me to digitize. It is just frickin' great! I hear the similarities! An incredible version of "After Midnight" (I'm thinking about asking the band if they'd like to do this version) and Ringo's "Oh My My" (I like this better than his).

Players?
Maggie Bell; Chuck Rainey, Cornell Dupree, Reggie Young, Steve Gadd, John Hughey

A few Amazon Reviews:

There are many underrated singers who seems to have floundered about during the 70's--Bonnie Bramlett and Etta James are just two who come to mind. And then, there's Maggie Bell who never received the recognition in the United States that she deserved. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT is a flawless representation of what Maggie Bell was made of--rock, funk, and blues. She starts off with CADDO QUEEN, pushed to the limit by Ralph MacDonald's insistent percussion (is that a washboard and thimbles in the background?) and ends, almost breathlessly with a pensive TRADE WINDS. A must have!

Every Picture Tells A Story. . .
Remember that lost gem from Rod Stewart? That is where Maggie's whiskey-drenched voice was first heard by me. I have still have the original two solo efforts by her on vinyl. So played out! Maggie has one of those once in a life time voices. Please experience her renditions, you will NOT be disappointed!

Maggie Bell's music alternately simmers and boils with passionate playing and singing. According to the liner notes, Bette Midler considered this one of the "greatest" albums she'd heard. Maggie Bell should have continued to record through the years, her voice is that powerful and unique. The album has gone everywhere with me for 25 years.

Encoded at 320K from original vinyl album. Includes high quality scan of cover suitable for a CD case.
