Sweet Black Angel And More Chicago Blues

? Robert Nighthawk was one of the most influential blues guitarists of the post war period, a stature he achieved without the benefit of many hit records.

? His song "Sweet Black Angel Blues" became a blues standard when B. B. King covered it as "Sweet Little Angel" and B. B. went on to do the same with "Crying Won't Help You".

? Across the 23 tracks presented here are top blues musicians such as, Roosevelt Sykes, Sunnyland Slim, Willie Dixon, Brownie McGhee and Pinetop Perkins.

? Robert Nighthawk was an important and very underappreciated bluesman whose evocative slide guitar influenced a remarkable number of musicians who followed in his wake.
