Nighthawks - 1976 - Open All Nite
In 1975, the band went back into the studio to do their second album,
this time a collection of all classic blues songs called “Open All
Night.” They weren’t entirely happy with the initial results, so went
back into the studio and re-did the album. It was released in early
1976 and was a bold move at the time disco was reigning supreme and
blues was at an all time low. And they faced the challenge of doing
this as a white boy blues band. The album featured a powerful mix of
ensemble playing and received very favorable reviews. It also did
several other important things for the band.
On record, the
inclusion of the live cut of “Red Hot Mama” with Pinetop Perkins at the
Cellar Door laid the groundwork for their “Jacks & Kings” albums to
come. On the road, the album expanded their touring horizons—leading to
regular gigs in Boston, New York and Atlanta. And in the overall music
scene, the band was starting to lay the groundwork for other similar
artists who would follow them in the early ‘80s—including the Fabulous
Thunderbirds, Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Thorogood.
