R. L. Burnside

I've been a somewhat casual fan of Burnside's blues music for a long time. I've got a bunch of his albums, but I never thought to look for live videos of him. Until now, that is. Well damn, here's something Youtube dug up for me with great ease.

Great performance from an incredible musician.

Mississippi Blues by RL Burnside
Another great video, this one only has a single song.

I discovered R.L. kinda backwards. It was my absolute love for the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion that got me into R.L. Then he was taken away from us. Damn shame. I believe his son plays with the North Mississippi Blues All Stars.

I happened to find a cd of "Ass Pocket Of Whiskey" at a tag sale. Thought it was a rap or hip-hop album, but something made me give it a shot. So glad I did.
