Product Information

In 1974, in the liner notes of their first release, the band set forth a mission statement to recreate Rock and Roll by going back to the sources and recombining them into truly American music. One need only to look at the sources for the material that makes up this "American Landscape" to realize The Nighthawks are still at it, choosing tunes from Lazy Lester and Ike Turner, Sam and Dave, Dan Penn and Marvin Gaye, as well as contemporaries like the Imperial Crowns and Tom Waits' theme from HBO's "The Wire", along with two Bob Dylan classics, and two Johnny Castle originals. The album is dedicated to David Simon, who not only included Nighthawks material in "The Wire", but had the band perform live in scenes in "Homicide: Life on the Street" on NBC and "The Wire" on HBO.
