Robert Nighthawk was one of the most distinctive guitarists and vocalists of the 1950's and early 1960's around the Chicago blues scene. Nighthawk was a country kind of musician, who lived on the southside and performed at many of the clubs in the big city during his mid-life years. Known to busk a bit with other musicians at the Maxwell Street Market, Nighthawk often performed his blues music style to throngs of Sunday market goers. Nighthawk is remembered for the live album that was recorded during the summer of 1964 at the sidewalk of a vacant Maxwell Street property lot just adjacent to Halsted Street. Fantastic tunes were performed that day with his accompanying blues buddies; a treasure for us to listen to decades later!
