    #RLBurnside - Live 1984
    From "R. L. Burnside with Johnny Woods (Live 1984, 1986)" DVD
    R. L. Burnside (November 23, 1926 - September 1, 2005) was an American #blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. He played music for much of his life but received little recognition before the early 1990s. In the latter half of that decade, Burnside recorded and toured with Jon Spencer, garnering crossover appeal and introducing his music to a new fan base in the punk and garage rock scenes.

      Had the pleasure of seeing RL in Australia in the early 90's - after the Dave Stewart doco. "Deep Blues" was released. He was with a couple of other artists. At the end - the audience (1/2 full venue) asked him back for an encore. He asked what we wanted him to play. The audience answer - to a person was "Play anything - we just want to listen."
      Signed autographs - came across as a very humble man. He got a terrific ovation from an appreciative audience.

    The beauty of r.l. Burnside was his genuine indifference to fame and money, he had little to no interest in it. He was a bluesman in its purest form. His rhythm style sets the bar for all who try to imitate him. He was a true master of his craft, well seaso ned, this man truly lived the blues and it was obvious in his music. I'm still mesmerized by his playing . I often imitate his finger style rhythms. It just don't get any more blues than r.l. burnside.

      When I played Mississippi Fred McDowell for an older co-worker, he thought it was 2 or 3 guys on guitar. These riffs are very basic and simple; anyone can learn them. The real trick is in the right-hand technique, which is not easy to master and get it to sound right without tangling up the rhythm and lead. Look up a Son House video - his right hand is flailing away and you can't imagine how he possibly hitting the strings.

    I just had to comment this right here... For almost seven years
    .. from the first time I heard Poor Black Mattie by the greatest of the Hill Country masters... After countless tutorial videos by youtube instructors, countless hours of studying RL playing it.. And still just not getting it right.. Even after reaching out to his grandson Cedric and Cedric Burnside Project guitarist at the time Trenton Ayers.. And getiijg some tips from Ced and even some one on one video tutoring fom Trenton, which evolved into a real friendship to this day... I still couldn't get it right. Until just now. Five Mins ago... Sipping coffee and trying to pay along with RL on my Fender cp 60s parlor guitar.. It just clicked. If yall only knew how freaking major this is to ya boy... In bout in tears.. I gotta call Trenton :) :) :) HELL YEAH!!!!

      That’s cause it’s 2% technical skill and 98% soul. The blues is all feel. If you ain’t got it you can’t play it. It’s an African cultural art born out of suffering and centuries of oppression that very few white folks have been able to mimic.

    I've recently discovered this kind of music and immediately fallen in love with old blues rhytms... I am from much younger generation than probably most of today's blues listeners. But I never could understand the pop music... When I listen to blues, folk, jazz, music from 60's and earlier, I feel that it moves something deep in my soul... I just can't find it in today's music...
