RL Burnside on Fat Possum

(1/4) > >>

Johnm:
Hi all,
In case you have not already seen it, Fat Possum has put out, in the same series as its recent Joe Calicott release, the first recordings of RL Burnside, made by George Mitchell, probably on the same trip as he recorded Calicott; they're from the same year, anyway.  It is really strong stuff, good guitar and some amazing singing.
All Best,
John

Slack:
Too much to resist - I've now ordered both.

Thanks for the heads up!

uncle bud:
Some of the Mitchell recordings of RL are also on the Arhoolie that has Joe Callicott.  I'm assuming similar mild overlap on this CD. The stuff is great and I'm not even an RL fan...

Johnm:
Oops, I erred earlier.  Probably not the same trip for Mitchell.  Calicott was from '67, Burnside from '68.

Johnm:
Hi all,
A friend of mine here in town has been figuring out a number of tunes from this CD, and is interested in picking up another RL CD in which he was either playing solo acoustic or solo electric.  I am not familiar enough with RL's discography to know which of his releases would fall into either of those categories.  Any recommendations?  Thanks.
All best,
Johnm
