He earned his nickname while working as a cook at Tidwell's Barbecue in Buckhead, Georgia. This specific record features his signature percussive 12-string guitar style on "Blind Pig Blues," while "Hurry And Bring It Back Home" stands out for the inclusion of a clarinet accompaniment, which was relatively rare for his typical solo-driven output. Tragically, Hicks died of pneumonia at the age of 29, leaving behind a brief but highly influential body of work that defined the "Atlanta sound." 💎 CONDITION shellac: excellent plus (E+) sleeve: none 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS This is an original "Viva-tonal" Electrical Process recording. These early electrical recordings are highly prized by collectors for their superior sound quality compared to the acoustic "horn" recordings of the previous decade. As an original 14000-D series Columbia release, this is a cornerstone piece for any pre-war blues collection. Finding Barbecue Bob records in this state of preservation is increasingly difficult, as many were played heavily on primitive equipment. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Matrix (Side A): 146050 / Stamped: 1-G-1 Matrix (Side B): 146055 / Stamped: 2-G-1 Additional Marks: "D" and "9" stamped in the runout area.
