The Roots Of Rockabilly (1940-1953) 2004 via Delmark
a note about this track

The Blues Spotlight: An An Important Figure In The Transitional Development Of Blues From Its Mississippi Roots To Its New Home In The City. His Slide-Guitar Work, With Its Combination Of Rhythmic Drive And Subtle One-String Runs, Was Learned In The Delta Juke-Joints But Its Effects Were Heard Many Years Later In The Clubs And bars Of Chicago In The Post WWII Era. Famed For His Cool, Composed Vocal Style And His Influential Slide Guitar Sound, Achieved by Sliding A Piece Of Brass Pipe Along The Guitar Frets. Nighthawk's roots Were So Deep Into the Delta Soil He Had Trouble Staying Away. Robert McCullum Passed On In 1967
