Papa John Creach & Midnight Sun - Im The Fiddle Man
Review by Ken Snyder
Papa John Creach & Midnight Sun's album "I'm The Fiddle Man" is a true masterpiece of blues and rock music. The album features Creach's virtuosic fiddle playing, which is perfectly complemented by the outstanding musicianship of the Midnight Sun band.
The album opens with the upbeat and groovy track "Filthy Funky", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The title track "I'm The Fiddle Man" is a standout track, showcasing Creach's impressive skills on the fiddle. The song is a perfect blend of blues and rock, and is sure to get anyone's toes tapping.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Hobo", which features some amazing guitar work from the Midnight Sun band, and "Walking the Tou Tou", a slow and soulful ballad that showcases Creach's emotional depth as a musician.

Summary by Ken Snyder
Comments
This is a perfect first date song
A genius rendition of the Hoagie Carmichael classic from the American standard songbook. Superbly done.
Senior senior groove!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had this album back in the day. They used to play this song all the time on a black themed radio station in New York City. Can't remember exactly which station, but Frankie Crocker was one of the deejays.
His version of Duke Ellingtons Solitude was great on this album too
Star showers are raining from the heavens...but that was long ago...consolation comes with reconciliation and you will see the cause was inconsequential...love is no longer a refrain but the complete song...Pops kills this and Deep Purple: such abandon and passion
Thank you for uploading this! I have this record and I was looking all over for the digital version!
