Classic Chicago Blues From Nighthawk Records. This issue of Nighthawk Records presents twenty-four classic recordings from Chicago s heyday as a blues center. The rapid local proliforation of small independent labels during the postwar years and the shoestring economics practiced by their owners, fostered a fierce competitiveness more than matched in the musical community. Unfortunately, the failure of such small labels as Parkway, Tempotone and Random often obscured in extreme rarity even the most inspired performances by such regional heavyweights as Little Walter, Floyd Jones, John Brim and Johnny Shines. The resurrection of these important recordings will be cause for celebration in blues circles. (full liner notes and photos located inside) 01. I Want My Baby Little Walter 02.
