 CHRIS VINCENT ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE, “MIDNIGHT AFTER ALL” – OUT MONDAY, JULY 14TH Second Release from Upcoming Album, Good Crook, Spotlights Raw Honesty, Razor-Sharp Songwriting, and New Orleans Firepower New Orleans-based songwriter and slide guitar roots artist Chris Vincent returns with “Midnight After All,” the gritty, haunting second single off his forthcoming album Good Crook, due out August 1st. The track arrives Monday, July 14th on all major platforms. Cut live in a single take with zero overdubs, autotune, or studio polish, “Midnight After All” is a perfect embodiment of Vincent’s defining musical philosophy: “Blues as it could be, roots as it should be—hand written, hand played, vitally human music without a whisper of AI anywhere in sight.” Featuring the legendary New Orleans drummer Johnny Vidacovich, Vincent’s performance is anchored by his signature slide guitar work on Gloria, his 1947 Gibson L7. The chemistry is palpable—Vidacovich’s subtle but powerful drumming locks in with Vincent’s percussive, relentless guitar style, creating a sound that is both vintage and electric with urgency. Lyrically, “Midnight After All” tells the tale of a bad situation spiraling fast, its central line--"Needles spin backward, but you pray that they don’t"—drawing a hard boundary between Vincent and the “paint-by-numbers” blues artists he leaves in the dust. It’s storytelling with teeth, full of grit, edge, and hard-earned truth. As with all of Good Crook, the track was recorded live at The Rhythm Shack in New Orleans, with Grammy-winner Jake Eckert at the helm. The album also features standout performances from bassist Dean Zucchero. To accompany the single, a companion music video will also be released on July 14th, featuring New Orleans’ iconic St. Louis Cathedral, filmed after midnight in the sweltering French Quarter summer heat. The moody, atmospheric visual captures the city’s haunted stillness and late-night soul, perfectly echoing the spirit of the song. Chris Vincent continues to carve his path as a true American original—a master storyteller and musician who values soul over polish and substance over spectacle. “Midnight After All” is more than a song—it’s a statement.
