It has been a while since the Blues appeared on these pages so by way of compensation here are some Burnside Blues.
No not music from the most affluent part of Rutherglen but rather the Mississippi Bluesman R.L. Burnside who enjoyed some belated fame on the Fat Possum label in the 90's with his stripped down North Mississippi Hill Country Blues alongside fellow Mississippian Junior Kimbrough a style which was to influence the likes of The Black Keys. ( long sentence!)
After a heart attack in 2001 his doctors advised him to stop drinking which he did but he reported that this change left him unable to play!
He popped up on the MP3 player at the gym the other day and I felt that he merited a further airing.
Great stuff but I suspect that it will not do much for my dwindling figures.
Great stuff, indeed and I enjoyed listening to it after a long time. And yes, my eclectic taste is also noticeable in my figures.
ReplyDeleteI am reassured that the important people are reading and listening!
DeleteAs Walter said (ie blogger Walter, not out pigeon) great stuff. DO I detect some disillusion on these pages? Maybe you need another series featuring a twee 1970s pop outfit? If only you knew someone with too much time on their hands
ReplyDeleteWould even be happy for the pigeon to write something!
DeleteLove me some blues, pure and raw
