Nicole Henry [2022] - Midnight At The Oasis (Radio Edit) [Banister Records]

A track taken from Nicole Henry's recent album "Time To Love Again" has been given a radio edit (4:21 v 4:40) and released as a single today.

The song, "Midnight At The Oasis", is of course a cover of folk/blues singer Maria Muldaur's 1974 #6 Billboard Hot 100 hit taken from her 1973 self-titled album. It has been covered many times including  by The Brand New Heavies in 1994. The only other notable versions of interest to soulies may be Wayne Henderson (1978) and Bob James & Kirk Whalum (1996).

I've dug up a video of The Brand New Heavies performing the song live with N'Dea Davenport on lead. There was an original promo video but it was rather grainy, although the sound is fine, probably copied from a VHS tape as there is an MTV logo in bottom right corner?

Also included is a video for "Your Smiling Face", a track from her latest album.
