Free Music Notes for First Recordings
Free Music Review: The best RL recording.
Hit: 5 Stars
Oddly enough I stumbled across RL back in the 90's while I was working on some stuff on the bench and MTV2 was on the TV in the background believe it or not playing music videos. I wasn't paying much attention to what was on then all of a sudden this song catches my attention. I turned around to watch the video and catch the song name and artist. I believe it was Let My Baby Ride from the Come on In album. Well within a few days I found the Come on In cd and I have been hooked on RL ever since.
I like pretty well anything from RL but the First Recordings is my favorite by far. I really wish I would have made an effort to go watch RL play live. It is sad that RL and many others didn't become popular or even known until late in life because there aren't making them like these guys anymore.
If you like real blues and don't have this CD don't give it a second thought pick it up and wear it out.
Free Music Review: Great Acoustic Guitar Playing
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like R.L.'s guitar playing than this is the album for you. Man R.L. could play when he was that age, this THE best Cd to showcase R.L.'s Guitar playing. His voice isn't as good as it is now, but you won't care about that once you here his guitar. He does good Versons of his later standers like "Skinny women" and "Jumper hangin' on the line". Plus he does a great version of "My Baby" which is titled here "Little Baby". Oh and for all you guitar players. Burside drops his guitar a whole step for this album.
Oh and P.S. R.L. DID record "Bird Without a Feather" again. It is recorded under the title "Lost Without Your Love" on his Mississippi Hill Country Blues album.
Free Music Review: The Robert Johnson of 1968
Hit: 5 Stars
I 'm not interested in any fusion of hill country blues with hip-hop junk, so when I wanted to buy an R.L. Burnside CD, I went to the beginning. And man, I struck gold! R.L. just spellbinds the listener with his raw emotion and remarkable guitar playing. If you appreciate Robert Johnson's recordings, you're sure to like this as well, even though the music itself is a little different than Johnson's blues. Kind of a cross between Johnson and John Lee Hooker, with the "hypnotic trance" thing going. It's its own thing, actually--hill country blues!Free Music Review: well, well well
Hit: 5 Stars
Basically, this album is a must for any blues fan. I bought his recent live album "Burnside on Burnside" and thought that was good, until i heard just how good his early recordings were. His songs capture the feeling of the blues in the same way that Robert Johnson could. His simple single guitar and vocals style is in many ways right at the heart of the blues. And this older recording is incredibly high quality. Great, early blues music by a musician who had incredible staying power.Free Music Review: caught my baby cheatin', now home aint where it used to be
Hit: 5 Stars
this cd is the kind of thing that can get you lost on your way home from work. literally. one wrong turn around this place and im out twenty minutes. burnside just sucks you in and there's nothing you can do about it. emotion to rival 'a love supreme'. backhand to the cheek. swagger.
