Post Description

Mississippi Hill Country Blues album by RL Burnside was released May 08, 2001 on the Fat Possum label. There isn't a blues artist alive today that can harness mercurial gutbucket chaos like R.L. Burnside. Mississippi Hill Country Blues songs His take on the droning, circular guitar riffs indigenous to the blues of the north Mississippi hill country, coupled with his electric band's skull-crushing power, is enough to send listeners into hypnotic convulsions of rapture. However, MISSISSIPPI HILL COUNTRY BLUES, culled from sessions in the late 1960s and early 1980s, features Burnside solo on acoustic guitar. Mississippi Hill Country Blues album The results, stark and clear in the absence of his customary distortion and sonic upheaval, are spectacular. Though the performances here are as intense as his electric sets, this album's spare aesthetic makes it possible to concentrate closely on Burnside's intricate guitar technique, which sets repeating motifs and rhythms against each other to create a seemingly ragged yet tightly controlled propulsive energy. The 19-song track list includes several Burnside favorites, including "Poor Black Mattie," and a fierce slide treatment of "Shake 'Em on Down." The lesser-known "Skinny Woman" and "Jumper on the Line" are no less compelling.
