Open All Nite sounds like a rebellion against slickness -- the blues-rockers sound like they're downright proud of their raw, rugged, bare-bones approach, and they seem oblivious to the glossier sounds of the '70s. In that sense, one can see some parallels between Open All Nite and the punk bands that were starting to make their presence felt in 1976. the Nighthawks were never a punk band, but they did share punk's love of rawness and believed in keeping things simple, emotionally direct, and straightforward. (Alex Henderson)

The new disc by The Nighthawks captures the Hawks during a recent high energy performance at The Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia.

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!

The Nighthawks 2001 Pain & Paradise

Opening with a cut from the famous California bluesman, Frank Zappa, the Nighthawks take on "Trouble Comin' Every Day" sets the tone for a no compromise platter of hard times and in your face roadhouse blues. Wenner is strident and rhythmic and wraps himself around a harp like no one's business. He's just as tough on the vocal duties, fully and articulately expressive with just enough edge. The 'Hawks put you somewhere between Pain & Paradise. Pete Kanaras is as happy with twanging, boogieing or picking, to which Jan Zukowski's bass provides a steady foil. Wrapping it all is a steady-handed (maybe too steady into monotonous) rockin' and rollin' rhythm machine in Pete Ragusa. The cuts have no nonsense, straight-forward vibes and the theme is interpersonal interaction. There's little question about what will be worked on by a boogie down "Shade Tree Mechanic," driven by a hot juking harp. Willie Dixon's "Same Thing" explores another side of the theme in a nice, slow glide version. Wenner's harp is a focuser bringing Little Walter's "High Temperature" to a steady rolling boil while the vocals are delivered with an Estrin-esque swing. An acoustic counterpoint is Delta deep that points out "Trouble On the Way." It's a fine shift in gears before the wrap up with "I Told You So" and "Snap It," two Nighthawk-written boogies. Maryland's Nighthawks have been called the world's best bar band but they can shake it on disk too. (Mark Gresser)

In 1999, The Nighthawks were back in the studio to record -"Still Wild." This album was recorded at Cue Studios in Falls Church, VA with engineer Chris Murphy, who was very much in sync with what The Nighthawks were trying to do. And it was produced by Mark, along with James Solberg. The result was a slightly harder edged and once again energetic set that showcases the band in fine form. Released on the German label Ruf, it's further testimony to the band's enduring ability to crank out top flight blues/rock that works in the studio and comes alive on stage. (amazon.com)
