The record for tonight is Nightwing's second album, "Black Summer". The Band was founded by Gordon Rowley in the late 70's. Rowley had spent one single day as a member of Richie Blackmore's Rainbow.
The record secured the band a large following in Europe, especially Germany and former Yugoslavia, with the record hitting even the top ten in Germany.
Nightwing is best known for having singer Max Bacon (former Moby Dick, Bronz and GTR) in their ranks, singing on the latter albums.
"Black Summer" contains some great hard rocking tunes with a bit of a boogie touch to it, much heavier than on their latter albums. Highly recommended!
