Robert Nighthawk’s voice has a warmth that comes from deep down in his soul. His guitar style is riviting and here, it includes some single-string slide playing reminicent of Muddy Waters. This album, originally released in `80 features this brilliant musician recorded live in Chicago, on Maxwell Street in 1964. Nighthawks’ recorded legacy is very small, so this live set is a welcome addition to any collection. The quality of the recording is not that great, but buy it anyway, as the performances are worth having and are quite rare. |
