Kissing At Midnight - Billy Boy Arnold

Kissing At Midnight - Billy Boy Arnold
2:23
single, 1957
Written by Billy Boy Arnold and Sylvester Thompson

This is a light blues shuffle with Arnold's harmonica punctuating the standard twelve-bar Chicago-style blues licks.  It's a fine song, although the groove is somewhat repetitive.  Arnold is known primarily as a harmonica player, and he's definitely very good, but not quite showcasing any virtuoso skills on this track.  It's a positive love song, the narrator recounting how good he feels talking to his love on the telephone, walking around with a smile on his face.
