More Info
For years he mesmerized audiences with his unique North Mississippi Hill Country Blues style and influenced a new generation of blues musicians. University of Memphis professor, David Evans, recognized Burnside's extraordinary talent while he was still working in the cotton fields in North Mississippi. The seventeen tracks on "Raw Electric 1979-1980" reveal R.L.'s true talent. Most of the recordings were made at Burnside's home near Independence, Mississippi, with a live audience participating. Song-by-song descriptions and rare photographs are included in the "bonus" booklet.
