The Nightporters classic debut album, available to download for the first time since it's 1997 release. REVIEWS'Feelin' Good…….Soundin' Mighty Fine'What's On Southwest, UK, August 1997Since forming in 1993, The Nightporters have blown every other blues and boogie act south of Bristol clean out of the water. The boys, Ian Roberts (vox, guitar and mean harmonica), Martin Vowles (guitar, b.v.'s), Chris Robbins-Davey (double bass) and Kevin Crowe (drums, b.v.'s) have developed an act around the very best of the fifties blues and rockability sounds but re-invented it with an act so polished you'd be forgiven for thinking they'd written it themselves.Having played relentlessly over the last two years, taking in dates at just about every major national blues and jazz festival, last month they turned their backs on day jobs and recorded their first CD"Feelin' Good" at Sawmills Studio in Fowey, Cornwall.The result is an eight track assemblage of the best sounds of that era with classics such as"Mellow Down Easy","Blue and Lonesome","Certainly All" and the title track"Feelin' Good". The album is available on the Wang Label (WANGCD001)==========================================================================="Guaranteed to get you rockin' and dancing up a storm" Blues Access, USA"There is no mistaking The Nightporters as anything other than the cream of British blues bands" Burnley International Blues Festival, UK"The Nightporters live show sets the standard for all others to follow" The Brewhouse, Oxford, UK"One of the United Kingdom's hottest bands" Blueprint, UK"A three syllable word... fan-tas-tic!"Back To The Roots, Belgium“It's been a good while since a blues band caused such a ruckus on British shores, they come across with the same exuberance shown years ago by The Yardbirds" Blues On Stage, USAThe best R&B, Rockabilly and Boogie band in the country" Darlington Arts Magazine, UK"These are musicians who like to communicate with their public, to vibrate and transmit pleasure to their audience" Blues Border, France"Phenomenal" Ritmo y Blues, Spain"The Nightporters have cultivated a showmanship to rival any of the great Rhythm & Blues / Rockabilly outfits, and are now reputed to be so tight that they appear to be a single musical mind working through four bodies. They are liable to have even the most miserable of manic depressives jumping up and down with an ear-to-ear grin on their face."Event South West"The Nightporters demonstrated why they are considered by many to be one of the United Kingdom's hottest bands.Blueprint, UK"This makes them, to my mind, the incomparable and absolute kings of rhythm in live music today. This band work together brilliantly and put absolute heart and soul into every number - sweeping the audience along with them irresistibly. It's impossible to stand still, and only just possible to get your breath between numbers. Add that touch of entertainment magic and you have a band quite untouchable in their current form."Blueprint, UK
