Electric Murder Blues
One of the lesser known father of the electric blues, Robert Nighthawk murdered the guitar. His carnage could have been found in all the juke joints around the Mississippi area. Wowing spectators with his dirty blues with a spectacular slide guitar work. You can tell in this video by the smiles on peoples faces and how they just danced with each other. It was raunchy but the people loved it. Nighthawk was a huge influence on a one Muddy Waters. You can tell in this video how much fun it would have been, in the crowd drinking moonshine, dancing with disregard.
