Album of the day:
Prowling with the Nighthawk (2005):
….So while the sound quality jumps around a bit (and this is the best most of this material has ever sounded), the variety of material from different times ultimately makes for a better listen than presenting each session in order. Once you’ve heard Nighthawk’s mature slide style, there’s no mistaking it for anyone else, and it’s quite interesting to trace his development as a player over time, from the acoustic forays of the ’30s to the fantastic electrified solo on “Return Mail Blues” in the late ’40s. Despite his lack of name recognition,Robert Nighthawk was one of the greats, and Prowling With the Nighthawk is a great collection of some truly vital material.
