THE NIGHTHAWKS : LIVE IN EUROPE 1987

The Nighthawks are an American blues and roots music band, based in Washington, D.C. The Nighthawks currently comprise Mark Wenner (harmonica), Paul Bell (lead guitar), Johnny Castle (bass guitar), and Pete Ragusa (drums). Formed in 1972, the Nighthawks underwent several personnel changes before stabilizing the lineup of Mark Wenner (harmonica), Jimmy Thackery (lead guitar), Jan Zukowski (bass guitar), and Pete Ragusa (drums).

In 1987, the band headed to Europe for a two week tour before taking some time off. A concert in Bremen was recorded and subsequently released by the Crosscut label as “Live in Europe.” In contrast to the album “Backtrack,” this one is a showcase of the core four man group that had done more than 3,000 shows in 15 years with almost no change in personnel. The album clearly shows that they had become a finely tuned, tight unit playing nothing less than great blues rock. This album also served to identify the end of an era as Jimmy Thackery moved on to pursue a solo career. But the album also served as a new beginning - as the band would take a break and chart a new course..

JACK WHITE – Blunderbuss

Jack White – Blunderbuss (2012)

“Every morning I deliver the news,” shrieks Jack White on Sixteen Saltines. “Black hat, white shoes and I’m red all over.” With its slasher guitar and funky Hammond organ riffs powering an emotional roller-coaster of lust and jealousy, this is White as his fans probably always imagined him. Yet by the time the album has reached the end of a thrilling journey through roots rock, folk, blues and country, the 21st century’s great revivalist guitar slinger is questioning the constrictions of his carefully built image.
Over a slippery double-bass figure pulsing beneath a dreamy weave of acoustic guitars, pedal steel and airy piano, a querulous White delicately laments that “The people around me/ Won’t let me become what I need to/ They want me the same/ I look…
…at myself and I want to/ Just cover my eyes and/Give myself a new name” (On and On and On).
Somewhere between these two poles, between a fan-like enthusiasm for the historic base of “classic” rock ’n’ roll and a restless, itchy urge for originality, Jack White has concocted an absolute corker: a rich, ripe masterpiece with two feet in the past and a nose for the future.
Blunderbuss is billed as the 36 year-old’s solo debut but, since he was the driving force in the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Dead Weather, it feels more like a continuation, or distillation. He weaves together all his influences with a spirit of loose invention and the command of a veteran band leader. — telegraph.co.uk
