What we have here is a great guitar instrumental from 1962.... Nice stinging guitar work and some almost creepy organ that sounds a bit like maybe Johnny and the Hurricanes type stuff but way more odd and creepy sounding. This almost has a Halloween novelty type vibe. Man I love this shit but sadly i can't out much about this great groovy rocker... Anyone???
The Night Hawks - Rockin' Hawk

Some of the playing makes me wonder whether Roy Buchanan dropped in on the session.
I don't know the group (or the composer) but I'll have to look for this one. I pick up ALON 45s whenever I find them, mainly for the Allen Toussaint connection.
I just gave this another listen and the guitar sounds a LOT like Albert Collins, but I don't know of him having recorded in New Orleans, or with a group called the Night Hawks. Hmmmm...
Give it a title like "The Creepy Crawl" and it would be a Halloween-type-novelty rocker. Great record.
larry, if anyone can find out the info about this record i KNOW you can!!!
glad the you guys are diggin' this little mystery gem!
