Topic: Bruce Cameron's "Midnight Daydream" a lost classic
Here's an album which too few have heard, but it's one more than worth checking out. The album is Bruce Cameron's "Midnight Daydream". Bruce was a fantastic Hendrix inspired guitarist from North Carolina who managed to have an amazing array of artists appear on this his debut album released in 1999.
Notable musicians playing on the album include Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles (Jimi Hendrix), Jack Bruce(Cream), Neal Smith and Michael Bruce ( The Original Alice Cooper Group), Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), Bunk Gardner (Frank Zappa) and Harvey Dalton Arnold (The Outlaws). The material on the album runs the gamut from bluesy Hendrix/Cream styled rockers to more early Alice Cooper based material, psychedelia, even moving into Tom Petty territory. There was a big build up in the media prior to the release date, with press conferences, coverage in the official Hendrix 'Experience Hendrix' magazine etc. Unfortunately, tragically about a month after release, Cameron passed away, but that doesn't detract from the music contained on the album.
All this wouldn't probably mean much if you can't hear the album, and the good news is, that even though it's out of print, one can download all the tracks legally on Bruce's web site at this location :
