You should know by now that I like me some Ramsay Midwood ( here , here , here , and here ). So it'll be no surprise that I will be encamped at whichever jukejoint, bbq pit or pizza slice establishment Ramsay will be playing at during this year's SXSW. Buy the new record Larry Buys A Lighter here via Amazon. Here's another song off the new record that contains phrases like "wheel of hippie cheese", "creek is getting muddy, got no horse to ride", [...]
Just picked up a few classic tracks this morning courtesy of Aquarium Drunkard . Maybe I am in need of a summer roadtrip...just maybe listening to these tracks will help me to forget there isn't a sniff of one looming in my near future.

My friend John turned out Ramsay Midwood's "Spinning On This Rock" earlier this week dj'ing on Turntable.fm. Found on the absolute classic Shoot Out At The Chinese Restaurant, Midwood comes on strong eating vowels like nobody's business with a voice/vibe like Bobby Charles and Link Wray playing Russian roulette in a woodshed. Also, in what [...]
Don't ask me how or why I love Ramsay Midwood . I can't tell you when or how I heard his music first. But it's been a bizarre love affair since first listen. Ramsay is known, if at all, for his 2000 debut record Shootout at the OK Chinese Restaurant . It was released in Germany first by Glitterhouse and eventually got a re-release in the states by Vanguard. That re-release is one of the few times when a record label released a record solely for it's artistic merit and without a care for [...]
I came across this one while I was putting together my 100 Albums posts . Here's Ramsay Midwood performing "Monster Truck" live from the House of Blues. This song appears on Midwood's 2002 debut album Shootout at the OK Chinese Restaurant . ------------ Amazon: Ramsay Midwood-- Shootout at the OK Chinese Restaurant
Did you ever sit in the kind of rickety chair you found in the street and brought back home into your apartment because this is where we all got our furniture back in the day, cast off from someone else's life? Did you sit and look at the place in the wall where the paint job was peeling and you got up, picked at it and found another layer, a different color of off yellow, off green or off white, even red than what you had since the day you moved in because that was what landlords did they painted [...]
I love having my own tipsters, my own "deepthroat" if you will. On both swedesplease and songs:illinois I have a number of mysterious industry contacts who email me some pretty amazing stuff. Today I received a song from Ramsey Midwood's unreleased sophomore record. His debut record ( Shootout ) was originally released on Glitterhouse in Germany but was later issued on Vanguard in the US. This was a strange choice for the label since while the record was undeniably artistically robust, it had little chance of making any dent in the US. [...]
