Barbeque Bob | Chocolate to the Bone (Arch.) | Album

Chocolate to the Bone by Barbecue Bob is a cornerstone 1992 compilation of 1920s Atlanta country blues. It perfectly showcases his syncopated, bottleneck 12-string guitar playing. Critics praise the album as an essential, playful, and raw introduction to his distinct modal style. Robert "Barbecue Bob" Hicks was a foundational figure in the pre-war Atlanta blues scene. Despite a tragic death at just 29 years old in 1931, he recorded prolifically. Released as an archival compilation, Chocolate to the Bone gathers some of his most defining, scratchy 78-RPM recordings.
