Midnight Storm by Blue Highway

Blue Highway has proven their ability at finding superior material and presenting it in a way that appeals to bluegrass fans of all ages and folks outside the bluegrass community without compromising their musical integrity. This, their third recording for Rebel Records, is perhaps their strongest release. The album features “Last Dollar Blues,” “I’d Rather Be a Lonesome Pine,” “Pikeville Flood” and the poignant Civil War song “He Walked All the Way Home,” in addition to what may be the very best of the bunch, the two powerful a cappella gospel pieces “Some Day” and “Whither Thou Go.” As usual, there is wonderfully strong singing by Shawn Lane, Wayne Taylor and Tim Stafford.
