ROBERT NIGHTHAWK
Bricks In My Pillow
U.S. Compilation reissue

Friday night starting to smoke over here.

Some absolutely killer Delta blues from the great Robert Lee McCollum, one of my all time favorite #blues artists.

If anybody had the right to sing the blues, it was Hawk.

Having your first kid at SEVENTEEN in 1909 alone gives you the proper papers.
THAT son, Sam Carr, was a monster talent in his own right, turning into a renown blues drummer himself.

This compilation is note-perfect, start to finish flawless.

The title track has made it onto more of my mixes and travel playlists than I can remember, and if you can’t relate to “The Moon Is Rising” in some way, I can’t help you.
