Guitarist, harp man, and singer Robert Lighthouse puts together a smart collection of Delta-inspired blues. There is a very logical development in song structures from the beginning of the disc to the end. Lighthouse brings John Lee Hooker and the less flamboyant side of Jimi Hendrix together in creating his own blues voice. The singing and strumming in the beginning of the disc resembles The Healer, smoothly progressing toward how Hendrix might sound today -- a steady rock beat with plenty of lyrical leads but no unnecessary show. The disc is evenly split into a dozen covers and originals. In order, Lighthouse interprets "Going to the River" and "Going Back South" (Isaiah Ross), "Voodoo Child," (Hendrix), "Talk to Me Baby" (Elmore James), "Shake for Me" (Willie Dixon), and "Crossroads" (Robert Johnson). ~Tom Schulte

Robert Lighthouse, a native of Sweden, first came to the United States at the age of 18, determined to learn more about the music he loves -- Mississippi Delta Blues. For eight years he traveled around the country visiting blues Meccas like Chicago's famed Maxwell Street and New Orleans, the cradle of the blues. He settled in Washington, DC in 1988 and established a cult following as a street musician.

He toured Belgium and Holland with the Charlie Sayles Band and then landed his own steady gig at City Blues Cafe in D.C. Robert has represented the DC area at the Blues Foundation IBC's twice, once with his band and once as a solo.
