"For those of you who don't want to spend $150 or more to get the Midnight Blue album, I just found out through her website at http://www.louisetucker.co.uk/ that she is re-releasing Midnight Blue and a subsequent album, After The Storm, on CD for the equivalent of $32 each."
Timeless! This CD will be beloved by many for years to come!

"I've been listening to Midnight Blue on tape since I was 8 years old. Anytime we'd go on vacation, it would be the first tape to be played. We played it so much, the tape actually broke! I've been trying in vain for at least 2 years to find a copy to replace the old one. Needless to say I was overjoyed to finally find it! It doesn't matter how old you are, or what kind of music you listen to - you will love this CD! Louise Tucker's voice is beautiful, and sometimes even haunting. Midnight Blue and Graveyard Angel are possibly two of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's such a shame that she never made anymore recordings. I suggest you pick up two copies - you're liable to wear this CD out!"
Loved Midnight Blue ever since I first heard it around 1986

"I first heard enchanting melody of Louise Tucker's Midnight Blue in the mid-eighties while I was in Ohio, and I fell in love with it instantly. However, I could not find it in the stores. I heard it the next time, some months later, when I was in a store and asked the clerk what station was on. I immediately called the station and the DJ gave me an 800 number where I was able to order a vinyl copy. Over the years, I've listened to it on and off, but not for the last few years since my turntable went to the basement to make room for more modern equipment. A couple of weeks ago, I had my son use his turntable to dub a copy of the title song onto a cassette for a gift for a friend of mine; then my wife got the idea to look it up on Amazon.com. She found it and gave it to me for Father's Day - it sounds even better on CD and I've rekindled my love for the title song and the album."
Its Amazing

"Its amazing how this little lady's music could have fallen through the cracks of the music industries walls. After hearing Midnight Blue years ago, I have since searched for her music and found nothing (Ah, but all is not lost...read on). Thanks to eBay, I found an old album in great shape (I still have an old 33rpm player, dates me, huh) and finally could play the song over and over. Until that time her music was played only now and then over a local PBS FM radio station. Then came the internet, and after diligent searches I found: www.louisetucker.co.uk, which is her newly made home page, which will allow you to purchase her two CD's online. If nothing else, use her homepage to contact her and let her know how much you love Midnight Blue."
One of the Best, But hidden for years

"I first heard Midnight Blue by Louise Tucker around 1983. The only place it could be heard was on a small AM station in New Bruswick, NJ, WCTC. All the large NY radio stations were changing formats and of what music they were playing was geared more toward the harder edge. After hearing it just a few times, it seemed to disappear into oblivion. Now thanks of the internet this magnificent recording can be distributed to many who enjoy it. It will go down in my memory as one of the all times classics, that unfortunately did not get much air time. Her voice, the harmony, the arrangement are all unique. You will not be disappointed."
