Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of Lowell Fulson grace our ears once again with "I'm A Night Owl - Vol. 2 - 1948-1954". This album is a delightful continuation of Fulson's smooth, bluesy style that we know and love.

From the opening track, "Lonesome Christmas Part 1", Fulson's soulful voice immediately draws you in, like a warm hug on a cold night. The accompanying instrumentals are top-notch, with jazzy trumpet solos and infectious bass lines that make you want to tap your feet.

Tracks like "Trouble, Trouble" and "Check Yourself" showcase Fulson's effortless ability to blend traditional blues with a hint of rock and roll, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.

But it's not all just smooth sailing on this album. Fulson, true to his nickname, delves into the darker corners of the human experience with tracks like "Too Many Drivers" and "Tramp". These gritty, raw songs remind us that life isn't always a bed of roses, but Fulson's music is there to guide us through the tough times.

Overall, "I'm A Night Owl - Vol. 2 - 1948-1954" is a must-listen for any fan of the blues. Fulson's timeless vocals and impeccable musicianship make this album a true gem in the world of music. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Lowell Fulson serenade you into the night.
