Robert NIGHTHAWK - Live On Maxwell Street 1987 (REPOST)
(Deluxe Edition)
Label: Bullseye
Blues
Robert Nighthawk was one of the most distinctive slide guitarists and blues vocalists ever, with a supple, emotive style that bridged pre-war acoustic and post-war urban electric styles. This exceptional live recording offers a more complex view of Nighthawk than his small discography had previously suggested. Alongside several extended slide workouts, Nighthawk plays several pieces with a raucous, slashing approach that is encouraged by the shouts of his audience in the street. Here is an exciting and rare glimpse of vintage blues music played by a master in a relaxed, spontaneous setting.
Blues archivist Norman Dayron recorded this set by Robert Nighthawk and his small ensemble in 1964. Three years later, Nighthawk died from heart failure, leaving these recordings to sit unreleased until 1980. This album was recorded live on a street corner in Chicago, and Nighthawk's playing and singing are still in peak form. This is made all the more riveting because of the energy of the crowd, which becomes more and more excited as the set moves along.
Nighthawk is joined by rhythm guitarist Johnny Young and drummer Robert Whitehead throughout, and harmonica player Carey Bell on a few selections. LIVE ON MAXWELL STREET is a no-frills, no-nonsense, honest, and committed performance. This and BRICKS ON MY PILLOW, which captures some of Nighthawk's late-'40s
Recorded live on the corner of 14th & Peoria, Chicago, Illinois in September 1964. Originally released on Rounder (2022).
