Paul Evans - Midnight Special mp3 download

Better then Johnny Rivers but not John Fogerty and CCR. Still a great version.

This is a great version of Midnight Special, possibly the best, and certainly my favorite. I remember laying in bed on a winter night listening to top-40 AM late night radio from a distant city (winter was when we could get the best signal out in the sticks where I lived), and the first time I heard this over the airwaves, I thought it was the best thing I had ever heard. Thanks for uploading it.

The best version of this song, bar none.

definitely the best version out of 100 or so recordings It¤s got the right prison feel and it is rocking.

This is not the original version.

very best song and the

an old prison song . what took it into the charts was the arangement. Amazing!

CCR’s version is so much better…the incessant “…BOY!” callbacks are annoying as hell in this one. It’s like a chicken walked into the recording studio. BOY! BOY! BOY!

This was the first time this song (which had been on the folk circuit for a while) charted on the Pop charts. Evans did a good job with it; he switched here from the teen pop sound of "Seven Little Girls" to a more country-oriented style, as in with "Happy Go Lucky Me".
