Mr. Burnside releases emotions deep within his heart and soul through his playing and singing! These are primal Blues not played often anymore in many areas. ... .Mississippi Hill Country Blues Poster
After 2 albums of groundbreaking modern blues, 'Mississippi Hill Country Blues' showcases another dimension of Burnside; a completely different acoustic set that brings new depth to his music. More than a full hour, 19 tracks, of Burnside playing some his best-known tracks and others on this record. Recorded in 1980-1982, this documents a period of Burn's career not well known before. Nineteen tracks of acoustic solo blues. 2001 release.Fans of this Mississippi hill country blues patriarch who've been put off by his previous two albums, the hip-hop remix set Come On In and last year's trip-hip experiment, Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down, will enjoy this time capsule recorded in 1982 and 1967. It's Burnside in the raw, playing solo on acoustic guitar as he did for his neighbors for most of his early career--when farming was still his profession. Burnside reprised "Miss Maybelle," "Mellow Peaches," "Poor Boy," "Jumper on the Line," and others among these songs on his more recent albums for Fat Possum Records, but these early versions capture his driving blend of one-chord rhythm with lightning decorations of slide and melody already fully developed.
If anything, Burnside's guitar playing has slowed over the years, but it's taken on gravity as it's grown more spare, just as his voice--high and limber here--has added character with the imperfections of age. Burnside, who turned 73 in November, is also a more idiosyncratic musician now. Nonetheless, it's a pleasure to hear him doing numbers like "Bad Luck and Trouble" nearly 20 years ago, fusing the influences of John Lee Hooker and Fred McDowell into the potent style that's made him one of today's premier practitioners of old-time rural blues. --Ted Drozdowski
