 Amazon.com: Shoot Out at the Ok Chinese Restaurant: Music: Ramsay Midwood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ramsay Midwood's debut, Shoot Out at the OK Chinese Restaurant, is an album of swampy, bluesy songs full of soul and steeped in myth about backwaters and working-class outsiders--hobos, junkies, lusty men, and their dangerous ladies.
Midwood combines various instruments and sounds to create his own signature blues: trumpet, banjo, harmonica, piano, organ, accordion and the fiddle, as well as the usual set of guitar, bass and drums.
Midwood's drunken, monotonous voice -- the faint crackling that sounds like a needle scraping a record -- and the overall rough style of his music claim authenticity.
