CD Reviews

Well, well well

Logan Seguin | Michigan | 01/26/2006

(5 out of 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."

Great Acoustic Guitar Playing

N. Langston | Sarasota, Florida United States | 07/30/2004

(5 out of 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."

"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."
