Free Music Notes for Masters Of Modern Blues
Free Music Review: Excellent slide Guitar from Night Hawk!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent CD for anyone with any interest in the slide guitar. It features Robert Night Hawk (he himself spelled his name as two words) in some extraordinarily fine slide performances. Night Hawk was recorded doing Sweet Black Angel five times. This version, with the notes delicately shimmering off the strings, is perhaps his best, along with the classic Chess recording of 1949 and the live version, which is among the greatest of raw blues slide performances ever captured. The live performance has just seen its first authorized released (unedited for the first time!) on the new "And This Is Maxwell Street" 2CD set from P-Vine in Japan--PCD 5527/28 (and I hope soon on a U.S. Label). The CD reviewed here is also of interest for the Houston Stackhouse material. Stackhouse taught Night Hawk to play the guitar in 1931. They often performed together. Both come straight out of the tradition of Tommy Johnson and his brothers, which makes him of interest also as a link between Johnson's style and the style of later performers influenced by it. Johnson was known for his use of falsetto. Howling Wolf, of the same tradition, developed this into the howl that gave him his stage name. Stackhouse is an under-rated performer who deserves more attention. Recommended.
