Artist:

Nightcats

Audio Mixer: Kid Andersen.
After handling vocal, harp, and songwriting duties for Little Charly & The Nightcats for over three decades, Rick Estrin now headlines the band with the 2009 release TWISTED on Alligator. Estrin is well-known for his songwriting skills, having contributed blues tunes to Grammy-nominated albums by Koko Taylor, Robert Cray, and John Hammond. So it should be no surprise that vivid, well-crafted songs like "Walk All Day," "Catchin` Hell," and "P.A. Slim Is Back" are among TWISTED`s many pleasures. But, mostly, this is one tight, crack blues band, graced by Kid Anderson`s proficient guitar work and, of course, Estrin`s sly singing and blistering harp solos.
