Midnight Freight
Eli "Railhouse" Booker
On Midnight Freight, Eli “Railhouse” Booker delivers a gritty collection of modern blues rooted in the working-class heart of the Midwest. Raised in Madison, Wisconsin, Booker channels the spirit of late-night rail yards, roadside bars, and long miles of open highway into a sound built on raw guitar tone and soul-worn vocals.
Driven by steady grooves, slide guitar, and stripped-down rhythm sections, the songs carry the weight of real stories. Themes of hard work, restless travel, heartbreak, and redemption run through the record, giving each track a sense of place and lived experience. Midnight Freight moves like the train it’s named after, steady, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
