I used to live in a room full of mirrors
All I could see was me
Well, I take my spirit and I smash my mirrors
Now the whole world is here for me to see
I said the whole world is here for me to see
Now I am searching for my love to be

JOHN LEE HOOKER
It Serve You Right To Suffer
2025 Worldwide reissue

An incredible Acoustic Sounds Series reissue of what very well may be might favorite blues album of all time.

I bought this about 6 months ago when I realized that my original U.S. pressing had had its last spin.
Couldn’t be more pleased to have such a stunning sounding replacement for it.

“Country Boy” is the greatest late-night blues tune in history; perfect for when you’re exhausted, waiting for the last few minutes of the day to tick away.

“Sometime in travellin'
I travel when nights are blue
Sometime my night
My night so dark and blue
But I keep on travellin'
No place to lay my worried head”

Man is that ever right.

JLH til the end of time.

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.

I’ve just listened again to Stormy Monday by Little Milton. I haven’t listened to it for ages. His voice, the guitar. It’s just wonderful, like getting into a warm bath. There is also an audacious one-note guitar solo to boot. It’s on YouTube and such if you’re interested.
