SUMMARY:Legendary Nighthawks!
DESCRIPTION:Nothing less than the usual best blues in the known world!https://youtu.be/S7YuJOptKw0?si=nREE-vbMGdnhymHO\nNighthawks 50th Anniversary Release“Established 1972”\n\nOn their 50th anniversary in 2022\, founder\, lead singer and harpmaster Mark Wenner is still at the helm\, while drummer Mark Stutso\, guitarist Dan Hovey and bassist Paul Pisciotta all share vocals and songwriting\, making this lineup one of the strongest ever. Decades of gigs and countless rabid fans have earned them the name “The Best Bar Band In The World.” More than a bar band or blues band\, as they’re frequently labeled\, this is a band that played with Carl Perkins in addition to Muddy Waters.\nIn March 2020\, with a brand-new recording to promote\, The Nighthawks did something previously unthinkable: They stopped in the middle of a Florida tour and drove home. Like so many other people\, the band members found themselves out of work as the coronavirus swept the country. Itching to play\, The Nighthawks found a couple of spaces large enough to stay apart while woodshedding new material. Previously\, the process had been a streamlined one: The band would rough out a dozen new tunes in an afternoon and perform them every night for a year or two before recording. But now there was time\, tons of it. Weeks turned into months.\nProduced by the Nighthawks and longtime compadre David Earl\, they took advantage of the pandemic slowdown to hunker down in Earl’s Severn Sound Studios in Annapolis\, Maryland and crank out fourteen new tracks in classic Nighthawks style.\nDan Hovey wrote a very relevant rocker\, “You Seem Distant.” Mark Stutso followed with a full blast “Coming and Going.” Florida friend Colin Kenny\, a.k.a. Raiford Starke\, wrote the soulful “West Memphis” and the band stylistically took it to Memphis. Stutso came up with “Gas Station Chicken” and everyone contributed to bringing in the funk. Hovey added three more: “Houseband\,” “Fuss and Fight\,” and the acoustic delight “Driving.” In between are British pub rock monster Gariant Watkins’ “Nobody”; Jimmy Reed’s “Take it Easy\,” featuring producer David Earl contributing the Eddie Taylor licks on guitar; Eddie Hinton’s version of Sam Cook’s “I’ll Come Running Back”; John Hammond’s version of Mose Allison’s “Ask Me Nice”; a wild version of the reggae classic “Johnny Too Bad”; an outtake rendition of Elvis Presley’s “Ain’t That Lovin’ You”; a Hillbilly interpretation of the Coasters’ “Run Red Run”; and half a dozen others that fell by the wayside. They’d play\, record\, rearrange\, and re-record til they got them just right.\nIn the tradition they set forth on Rock and Roll\, the band’s debut 1974 recording and mission statement\, the material is not bound by genre other than the widest range of American Roots Music.
