Mann, wie ich diesen Blues liebe. Dieser raue, erdige Delta-Blues der lebenden Legende Burnside wird Blues Puristen und Audiophile gleichermaßen begeistern. Die ersten Aufnahmen des Bluesers, aufgenmommen 1968. Feinster Mississippi-Sound und Ausblick auf spätere Großtaten.

Review by Al Campbell
At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place with a case of beer and some whiskey. Ten months later, Burnside had his first release. While these 14 tracks didn't jump start Burnside's career, they are stark, organic, and timeless, just Burnside and his acoustic guitar running down mainly traditional material that he arranged. This is an absolute treasure for Burnside aficionados and casual blues listeners alike. [In 2004, this album was released in SACD format with two bonus tracks: a live version of "Come On In" from 1998 and a remix of "Rollin' and Tumblin'."]
