"Hurry On Sundown" is a 1970 song by the UK rock group Hawkwind. It was the band's first record release, issued as a single in the UK on 26 June 1970, being an edit of the version that appeared two months later on the debut album Hawkwind. The song is inspired by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell's version of "Hurry Down Sunshine (See What Tomorrow Brings)",[nb 1] written by Mary Fix and Will Shade,[nb 2] originally recorded in 1934 and issued on the album Blues Before Sunrise (Columbia, BPG 62206, 1962).
The song is a defining and distinctive piece from the group's canon, appearing on the first collection album Roadhawks in 1976, and included on most official compilations covering the era. After the first album, the band ceased performing the number live until very rare appearances from 2000 onwards. It has been covered by a handful of artists including Kula Shaker, Vetiver, Moon Duo and Psychic TV.
