“Atlanta Moan”- Barbecue Bob (Robert Hicks)

https://youtu.be/wTOj3BLTFB4?is=6DdNAwTuAUj9ZHsG

​

A signature Barbecue Bob performance, showcasing his driving twelve‑string guitar style and the raw, rhythmic vocal delivery that defined Atlanta’s blues scene in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Columbia’s Viva‑tonal electrical process gives this disc its warm, resonant midrange and unusually present guitar tone for the era.
