The Robert Nighthawk collection 1937-52

"Known under various monickers ranging from Robert Lee McCoy (his real name), Ramblin' Bob and Peetie's Boy, Robert Nighthawk was a major link between the earthy Delta Blues and the electric Chicago Blues. He was mentioned in the same breath as Tampa Red and Muddy Waters, and this 2 cd set covers the waterfront of the impressive and highly influential recordings he made during his ascent and later years. He's teamed on vocals and his signature slide guitar ( a style that he arguably pioneered) with legends such as Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon and Pinetop Smith among others in this illuminating set that will hit your viscera".
