This 1976 follow-up to the successful Changing All the Time finds Smokie pursuing the same kind of country-flavored pop that made that album a hit. With Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman once again in the producer's chairs, the band produced some notable hits in Europe: "Something's Been Making Me Blue" layers Smokie's trademark harmonies atop a rousing country-rock tune driven by tasty guitar work, and "Wild Wild Angels" is a dramatic power ballad that highlights a strong lead from whiskey-throated vocalist Chris Norman.
Make Ya Boogie" is a boogie rock tune that could have been performed by any rock band, and the attractive melody of "Poor Lady (Midnight Baby)" skewer the down-on-her-luck groupie of the title.
Midnight Café does offer some decent tunes between the hit singles: "When My Back Was Against the Wall" is a dreamy ballad driven by an ethereal string arrangement, and the epic "Going Home" allows the bandmembers to stretch out and show off their formidable instrumental chops.
This is probably the best Smokie album. It contains such classics like: Poor Lady and Wild Wild Angels
Smokie was wildly popular in Europe in late seventies, early eighties, but almost completely unknown in US.
