Greetings all.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The middle of the week is upon us and since it\u2019s sunny and hot outside I thought I\u2019d toss something greasy on the grill.<\/p>\n

I first heard \u2018Send Me Some Cornbread\u2019 a while back when one of my many DJ friends posted a Youtube clip online.<\/p>\n

It was another one of those \u201cwhere has this record been and where can I get me one\u201d<\/em> things and though it took me a couple of months to put my mitts on a copy that was both playable and cheap, I finally did, so here it is.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s just this one thing\u2026that being, no matter how hard I try, I cannot unearth a speck of info on this record, other than when it was released.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the sole 45 by Russell Evans and the Nite Hawks<\/strong> was released both in the US (the Atco copy you see here) and in the UK on Atlantic in the summer of 1966.<\/p>\n

\u2018Send Me Some Cornbread\u2019 is a soulful good time, with some fantastic gut bucket guitar, organ and a slightly wild chorus chanting the word \u2018cornbread\u2019 over and over again (much to my delight, I might add<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The flip, \u2018The Bold\u2019 is a tasty organ instro that will soon appear in an upcoming mix.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of listing on the interwebs for this record, but little else to explain how someone capable of making such a groovy record could fade so deeply into the void.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t find any trace of this record in Atlantic Records sessionographies,which suggests to me that it was picked up whole and issued by Atlantic\/Atco from another source, but that\u2019s just an educated guess.<\/p>\n

The lyrics mention New York City, but that could signify nothing at all. If anyone has any info on Mr Evans and\/or his Nite Hawks, please let me know.<\/p>\n

That all said, \u2018Send Me Some Cornbread\u2019 is the kind of record that I absolutely live for, and I only wish there were more.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it as much as I do, and I\u2019ll see you on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
