Paul Rodgers & Hillbilly Vegas - Mr. Midnight

0:00It's April 28th, I'm Corey with The Story. This is Music News Today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Paul Rogers just dropped some heat with Hillbilly Vegas on his track, Mr. Midnight. He pinned it a few years back, while crafting songs for his album Midnight Rose, but it slipped his mind and never made the cut. Sun Records jumped in to release it now, and Rogers teamed up with the band for a fresh take. The song kicked off with a killer guitar riff stuck in his head. He built the lyrics around his wife Cynthia's rescued black cat Jasper, whose sleek coat earned him the nickname Mr. Midnight. Basis Todd Ronning, who later joined Bad Company, laid down the demo track. Steve Harris from Hillbilly Vegas calls it mind-blowing to share the mic with Rogers, the blueprint for rock vocals. Rogers added a few lines to their recording, keeping the vibe intact without overdoing it. It's pure lineage and music. They filmed the video right in their Oklahoma warehouse, directed by John Wright to keep things raw and real.

1:00No fancy production. Just the band as they are, with Rogers popping up on screen for that extra fire. This collab reminds us why legends like Rogers still shape the game, grab the track, hit play, and feel the Midnight magic unfold.
