Artist description The Midwest Express was a group of a four hard working, middle class, blue collar guys. They played straight ahead rock and roll that came straight from the heart and soul. Their songs deal with the typical hard rock fare...such as social issues, love and sex, and emotional introspection. However, unlike most other rock artists, the Express wrote songs that were genuine...if they wrote about something, it's because they truly felt it...they weren't just going through the motions like so many other rock groups do. The Midwest Express should appeal to anyone that loves straight ahead rock 'n' roll. (Note: a lot of these sound files come from VERY old tapes...some of the sound quality isn't the best. There are certainly more than listenable, but they aren't perfect. I've fixed them the best I can.)

Music Style Hard Rock

Musical Influences Beatles, Buddy Holly, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Deep Purple

Artist History The Midwest Express was formed in the early 80's by two half brothers, Rick Sitts and Wendell Randall. They soon added their cousin Bob Randall and good friend Doug Bailey to round out the line up. They played local bars in north central Indiana for many years, but unfortunately never made the big time. After many years of gathering dust, their old recordings have resurfaced, and are now finally being released to a deserving public. The Express are currently inactive, but ya never know, if they get enough of a response for the release of their songs, they might just come out of retirement!
