R.L. Burnside - guitar, vocals

THIS IS A TRADITIONAL DELTA BLUES RECORDING WHICH CAPTURES R.L. BURNSIDE IN HIS PRE-ELECTRIC DAYS. THE SONGS ARE PRESENTED IN AN ORIGINAL AND PUREST FORM. THE TEMPO IS SLOW AND THOUGHTFUL. AT LEAST 5 OF THESE TUNES, JUMPER HANGING, LONG HAIR DONEY, POOR BLACK MATTIE, CATFISH BLUES AND ROLLING AND TUMBLING, ARE STANDARD BLUES NUMBERS WELL KNOWN TO FOLLOWERS OF MISSISSIPI BLUES. BURNSIDES INTERPRETATION AND ARRANGEMENT OF THESE NUMBERS IS WELL DONE. THIS CD WILL APPEAL TO DELTA BLUES FANS--ROBERT NIGHTHAWK, ROBERT JOHNSON ETC.-- AND FANS OF TRADITIONAL ACOUSTIC BLUES. ---deepbluereview, amazon.com
