A
New Release from The Nighthawks:
Blue
Moon In Your Eye
Live
at The Barns at Wolf Trap
CHECK IT OUT! The
Nighthawks have just released a new TWO-DISC SET (audio CD/video
DVD) called "Blue Moon in Your Eye."
The release captures the Hawks during a recent high energy performance
at The Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia -
a highly regarded venue in the Washington, DC area.
In 2004, The Nighthawks made a change to their
lineup - when long time members, Mark Wenner (harp/vocals)
and Pete Ragusa (drums/vocals), were joined
by Paul Bell (guitar/vocals) and Johnny Castle (bass/vocals).
This new lineup transformed what was already an internationally
respected blues band into a highly energetic and extremely
versatile musical powerhouse - leaving fans
to conclude that "The Nighthawks are now
the best they've ever been!"
If you haven't had a chance
to check out The Hawks with the new lineup,
here's your chance. If you have seen the new lineup, you
know this is the most powerful Hawks yet.
Either way, you don't want to miss this new release.
Many people participated in the creation of this
new release. Overall production was performed by Scott
Norcross and Dan Kohlmeier (Rolling
Storm Communications); multi-track audio recording &
mixing was handled by Chris Murphy (RHL
Audio) and Pete Ragusa (The
Nighthawks); audio was mastered for CD & DVD
by Bill
Wolf (Wolf
Productions);
and the highly graphical cover design was created by Marty
Baumann (martybaumann.com).
More detailed credits/information can be found on CD/DVD liner
notes.
A few quotes
about recent Hawks performances with the new lineup...
"All
in all, Ragusa's rock-steady drumming and singing, Wenner's virtuoso
harp stylings and gritty vocals, Bell's on-the-mark, bluesy soloing,
and Castle's pumping bass and singing show why this present Nighthawks
outfit is their funkiest and most powerful yet."

"OK
everybody, all that post-Jimmy Thackery era lament and whining can
be put to rest once and for all. This is the best live set I’ve
seen them perform since the mid-1980s ...Rockabilly, Soul, R&B
(the real kind), Roots Rock, and Boogie are all integral parts of
a Nighthawks show. They never were a mere Blues band."

"there's
not a whit of pretension, they run their band like a well-oiled
machine, and they're guaranteed to put a smile on your face - or
at bare minimum, some sweat."
