#RLBurnside - Live 1984
From "R. L. Burnside with Johnny Woods (Live 1984, 1986)" DVD
R. L. Burnside (November 23, 1926 - September 1, 2005) was an American #blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. He played music for much of his life but received little recognition before the early 1990s. In the latter half of that decade, Burnside recorded and toured with Jon Spencer, garnering crossover appeal and introducing his music to a new fan base in the punk and garage rock scenes.

Thanks!
That helps !! cheers !
That southern mature deep voice is bad you know😍💋❤️
Yeah, makes you want to see what's attached to him, think I'd like him.
Thanks a million
One of the most underrated blues musicians ever. A true legend
Had the pleasure of seeing RL in Australia in the early 90's - after the Dave Stewart doco. "Deep Blues" was released. He was with a couple of other artists. At the end - the audience (1/2 full venue) asked him back for an encore. He asked what we wanted him to play. The audience answer - to a person was "Play anything - we just want to listen."
Signed autographs - came across as a very humble man. He got a terrific ovation from an appreciative audience.
Honest Blues
underrated by who?
Lukas Lysiak in the sense he isn’t as well known as the likes of Lighting Hopkins, BB King etc
@@b.i.g.brothersinguitars249 He is a great technique guitarist, but "just" a follower. The really big ones were able to present something unique and innovative that made them stand out. It lacks the spark. I feel that way, but I may be wrong.
Another one of UA-cam's little treasures, this.
+Mic Tod so true :) we all cherrish on own little collection of diamonds ^^
Yes.
Amen
Gem !
Karl Childers learn trigonometry and hate math
That vocal inflection he uses at the end of a phrase, the shuffle, the phrasing. It’s all pure gold. RL Burnside should have a national holiday in his name.
Would certainly beat pride month
@@Baker68 It's not a competiton, you can have your R.L. Burnside month just as Pride can have theirs.
well done mr.
I'd love to know if he us playing in open E tuning
@@jayphillips4167 , let's make it competitive. I vote for R.L. Burnside, over the fruits.
That rhythm on the first song is incredible. People complain about UA-cam but it has definitely enriched my life ❤️🎸🎸
People that complain watch the wrong shit
Ya gotta sift through the shit to find gold.
UA-cam is only garbage if you watch garbage....I've learned a ton and found music, film & conversation that would be very hard to come across outside of this platform.🎉
@@danielvalleduarte Indeed! It's algorithm-driven, so people who watch and comment on videos they don't like keep getting served that sort of thing. My feed is great, and there's several lifetimes of interesting stuff.
I think you tube is one of the most amazing things for me. It'll find me what I'm looking for, present me with this that or the other thing, some of which is so good it blows my mind. This video? I didn't look for it or ask for it. It just slid on up there. I'm about to post it on FB to turn others onto this guy. Is he playing open tunings?
No fluff, no fancy electronics, just rhythm and soul.
captofthestrad no electronics?..... Look closer.......
Damn Right !!
@@adriannasanchez468 He said no 'fancy' electronics. Most acoustic guitars now have an add-on - or built-in - pickup, especially when they are singing on a mike.
No billions guitar pedals plugged
captofthestrad have mercy
I was lucky enough to have seen R.L. live back in 1997 in a bar in Oxford Ms. He had a four piece electric band and brought the house down. The word on the street was when Mr Burnside was in town it was not to be missed and that was the truth!
You and I might have seen the same set list. How much "well, well, well...." did you get?
The most underrated smile, you could tell he loves what he's doing!
Yeah, that grin and his mellow musicianship and soft and easy voice has it all.
best buckteeth this side of Bluesville, yup
The beauty of r.l. Burnside was his genuine indifference to fame and money, he had little to no interest in it. He was a bluesman in its purest form. His rhythm style sets the bar for all who try to imitate him. He was a true master of his craft, well seaso ned, this man truly lived the blues and it was obvious in his music. I'm still mesmerized by his playing . I often imitate his finger style rhythms. It just don't get any more blues than r.l. burnside.
Burnside is good...but Lightnin Hopkins is king of country blues
@@jimberlygridder183 It's two different styles no?
@@karstenhammerhansenyes completely different,.
@@jimberlygridder183The Court of Country Blues is filled with a thousand and more kings and queens, all blessed with their individual genius and stories to share.
The more you watch the better he gets.
like a good whisly
When the booze kicks in Haha
Such an infectious smile! The dude was a genius
Look at his pupils and you might get an idea why he was smiling!
Pupils coke for sure. Saucers.
@Owen Harris Just because it's easy to play doesn't make him any less of a musical genius. It's not all about how hard something is.
@@andrewwabik5125 yeah. You could have steve vai play this and you would be bored out your fucking skull.
@@jayarava Drugs or no, there is a pure joy in his smile, and a lot of that is the music. Can't argue that there is other stuff, but RL loved what he was doing.
Man is a resourceful being.. A guitar... a set of lungs and a pair of vocal cords.. producing an entire orchestra of sound.. You'd think there were drums..and fiddles but no.. it's all one man two hands and his voice.. Amazing... Talent to the bone.. Thanks for posting... The Beat of Life !
Well put thoughts about what this music reveals about what it is un the best sense a human being
Such a true and great statement.....
Pure music in its purest form. Gorgeous rythm and a voice that cries out dispair. A simple guitar and a big talent make the difference.
The more I immerse myself in the blues and study music, the more I realize that this guy was the real deal. I mean R. L. Burnside... how badass is the name alone?? 🤘🏻🤘🏻
and a loooooot of work..
I like dispair: like a mix of despair and disrepair ? I'll take it !
Somehow sounds like a review from the 50’s.
Laid back, total groove, no gun slinger attitude. How beautiful he was.
piro mittig yeah. A Real person.
He killed a dude with a gun, though.
@@Captain_Neckbeard That’s collateral.
Like bo diddley you mean?
That guitar smoked a cigarette after he was done with it.
it sure as shit did
Nope she smoked two joints
Smoked weed _\|/__\|/__\|/_
Definitely lol'd on that one
You have just been awarded the funniest comment in the history of the internet. I claim it! That was truly hilarious. I have never laughed outloud at a comment.
That goofy smile made me smile every time. This guy is golden. So genuine!
I thought I was the only one. Man you should play with a name like birch Weber! That’s damn blues name!
@@bluestogreen1693 Lol, thanks bro.
There's nothing goofy about this man's smile. He's lived hard and claimed a life: “I didn't mean to kill nobody, I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord.” My point is that he's not shucking and jiving for our pleasure.
@@TheMAJArmor I said he's genuine, not "jiving for our pleasure". Didn't say there wasn't a lot of pain behind the smile because, as you point out, the lyrics clearly show such. But he does have a smile with great character, and it does make me smile. Just a passing comment with a positive take, not ignorant to the reality the pain in the world.
@@TheMAJArmor Don't be a stupid, boy. BirchWeber didn't say that to offend our great R.L. But you really don't know how to interpret a thinking, bud
Need no heater fireplace by my bed woman I got keep me cherry red - best delivered 2 lines ever
Years of house parties, playing in juke joints and friends houses. He mastered the craft and developed the driving perfect rhythms over droning strings. Genius.
mississippi blues in it's purest form.i still say he should have been more famous.
bigorange113 yep.
Well alright
" Well Well Well ! " , merci monsieur Burnside .
@@bigorange113great blues singer.
I saw R L Burnside in there early 90s , brought him a beer while he was playing and gave it to him , he smiled with a grin had a sip .. and than played on... Great night a true Blues man.. 10/10.
He was born like this. Blessed. I'm glad and honored crossing on the same bridge between centuries as this fellow. Great musician.
It's nice but I also hate this sort of sentiment you neglect the hours days weeks months years decades of experience it takes to get this good. Talent doesn't exist this is man that worked so hard and honed his craft for so long.
Man, I have seen this live session in the last 3 weeks, at least twice for day. This video deserves to be seen for the future humanity.
This is the blues right here
It's good to live in a world where Burnside had a chance to express his art. I appreciate this...
That grin looks like he's a kid who's getting away with something.
Exactly !!!! 😎
Best description George
hate to say but im sure he borrowed a few things from other musicians in 30s when there wasnt video.
WHO HASNT ? THATS HOW YOU LEARN ...HE ADmTS AND OWNED IT
well he did only get a few months for murder :D
Just a man, a guitar and his blues. The result is pure musical magic
Amazing... bass, rhytham , and lead...all on 1 guitar.
quovadis1952 Mississippi John Hurt
When I played Mississippi Fred McDowell for an older co-worker, he thought it was 2 or 3 guys on guitar. These riffs are very basic and simple; anyone can learn them. The real trick is in the right-hand technique, which is not easy to master and get it to sound right without tangling up the rhythm and lead. Look up a Son House video - his right hand is flailing away and you can't imagine how he possibly hitting the strings.
Yea, The Sonster, MS John Hurt, Skip James all world.
John the Revelator, Death Letter Blues oh and some Blind Lemon.
Robert Smith death letter
Thank you R.L. for showing what blues is
Fell down a good UA-cam rabbit hole tonight. Yes indeed.
indeed
No one can beat how good Sir R.L. Burnside is. He left us many treasures and I am grateful for that.
He had such a perfect rythm combined with perfect pace and a great story. Never in no hurry.
Cedric and lightning malcolm pay to Rl
@@steveseefeld3653hound dog Taylor, Elmore James.
If my day was crap I can listen to RL Burnside and come out smiling in appreciation of his great talent every time! thanks again for lifting my spirits RL and May God Rest Your Soul
God bless the blue's.
Never heard of R L Burnside and glad Ive now discovered him. Excellent ! 👍
I love this man so much. Just laughing, singing and playing. Having good time. That smile is so infectios. Thank you, Mr R.L. Burnside. Showing that it's alright to play the guitar with your fingers. R.i.P. Mr R.L. Burnside.
R.L. Burnside is my favorite blues musician

Jingles466 count me in Jingles. R. L.'s my favorite too. Real Deal Burnside. This is a wealth of cultural treasure. He's a cool breeze, come and gone. Like no other - and never will there be.

MAN THE RHTHYM ON THESE SONGS!! EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT POOR BLACK MATTIE, LET ME TELL YA!!! JUMPER ON THE LINE AIN'T NO CAKE WALK!!! R.L. WAS JUST AWESOME!!!
Consider myself very lucky to have seen this man live in Btown Indiana before he died. He sat down the entire show. Got his autograph too! 💜
finally i have found the music i was looking for so long from all the wrong places. Timeless music, that resonates the soul so hard that im starting to tremble from joy!
This is GOLD
Rock on RL. You can stand with all the other greats in blues heaven. A sound all his own, he sounds like no one else.
Great music, pure blues. Love it.
One of my favorite bluesmen! what a treasure!
Oh man a million billion thanks for uploading this
The crazy thing is his musical career didn't really take off until about 10 years after this performance - much love R.L.
He was the real deal true Americana
IS.
I could listen to RL all day long!!!
i have done so
I can only listen to him for about 10 minutes, then I'm asleep.. :)
@@rdoobies8512 lol
Absolute amazing. I hear today for the first time of this Talent. Omg
I love his Songs. I love the Blues. I don’t listen the Blues only, i feel the Blues. I‘m the Blues :)
this talented man did not need a band, i would trust that smile all day long.
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now
Mee tooo.....he's a humble artifact..a cornerstone
THIS MAN IS GENIUS
The blues saves lives. Thanks R.L.
Boy, when I'm trying to wind down at night this is the best thing to listen to with a glass of whiskey 🥃
vodka
Doing just that tonight with a glass of wine!
I love this music. RL Burnside was bringing it every time.
I just heard this amazing man's music for the first time. Can't stop playing his music.
Medicine!
Same & here I am & here I am going to stay !🔧😎
His style of slide is so amazing...and those subtle hammer ons. Great guitar playing and great voice.
This man's smile brightens up my whole room!
Maybe the greatest UA-cam video Ive ever seen.....
I love this man. By far my favorite blues musician. Takes me me to places I’ve never been. R.L. You are treasured brother . RIP
Deep, deep, deep and more deep ass, Mississippi blues! One of the last of the true legends!.....awesome post!
Love his music. Immense talent in such a humble man.
Absolute treasure. Never seen this before.
Corrects if I’m wrong. He’s a real one.
Edit: I’ve listened to this 1 to two times a day for the past week or two. Absolutely love it.
Very nice folk blues. There's a lot of history in the spirit of that music.
I love his guitar style, just really honest. He's brilliant.
Mississippi hill country blues
great brilliant
Just a man and his guitar. R.L. has soul, soul, soul, and more soul. Love him and his music🎶🎸🎶🎸
15:05 Wow, he just belts it out. So good. This is what the blues is all about.
Jumper On The Line... my favorite.
I popping out in 84!!
This is the real deal music!
Love his deep mature southern vocals, Its Bad You Know!❤️😍 yes great guitar playing
that's a voice ! That's a Man, a Mensch ! That's a Soul!
Mensch?
Your smile burns inside our heart every time you touch the guitar with your simplicity and make it become magic. Thank you great man, Thank you that you still exist in our hearts. Rest in peace, may the earth be light to you. THANK YOU.
Great Song ,
Great Groove,
Great Performance!
The beauty is in the simplicity. Stunning music.
What a groove. These blues men really got it down packed. Drums bass coming out of one guitar sounds great
The guitar really is incredible. I think the piano is maybe the only instrument that's as versatile.
His smile is still infectious. Blessed be R. L. Burnside.
Amazing how the blues in hands like this man's can tell a whole story in one line. As in "Maddie don't got a change of clothes".
On my way I met this one man band with one instrument, song and soul. Enjoy, I may not pass this way again!
Mr. Burnside was, and still is, an American national treasure that has been long overlooked.
That's back wood rhythm,that's right.You can't teach that, you have to feel the hard times ,You eat crap,drink nothing ,starve some, cry some, let down some,talked down to.
All you got is sky,air ,A guitar ,and your life, and you entertain Yourself...
other folks come around and think they've found something, The Blues is real life Hard times...
Some weed helps, and sometimes stronger stuff comes around, and the music and folks is fun.
None of them wanted hard times. They want to party! And he did!
wanda James he had 13 kids so yes he had fun
No doubt! That's all natural right there. He's got the soul of blues in his fingers.
You nailed it on the head
oh my, this groove crawls into the brain. So infectious!
Had the PLEASURE of seeing R.L. at a small club in Ottawa 1995. Simply Amazing
Saw him in Australia - mid 90's he was great - and chatted to those of us who stayed around after the show. Even got an autograph for my son.
Amazing sounds coming from one voice and an acoustic guitar! And it’s hypnotic to boot! This guy was great! 🎸😎👏🏻
Amazing 😀
He still is...I think.
I've recently discovered this kind of music and immediately fallen in love with old blues rhytms... I am from much younger generation than probably most of today's blues listeners. But I never could understand the pop music... When I listen to blues, folk, jazz, music from 60's and earlier, I feel that it moves something deep in my soul... I just can't find it in today's music...
I'm so blessed to have friends from this amazing family of Holly Springs blues masters.... Trenton Ayers!!!! That's my brotha!! And on drums... Cedric Burnside. Descendant's of Hill Country represent!
I've listened to Burnside for years, but this is the first time I've watched him play. Most impressive!
Ten gościu to geniusz. Pozdrawiam wszystkich z Polski.
Gold! R.L sounds amazing here!
"it looks like an easy music to play..on the surface, then you think...how are these cats doing this"....Keith Richards.
That's funny Keith kick your ass
But you're right man I've been practicing that I gave up on I can't do this stuff
The use of every intentional digit not every one is born to play most have a song or two to play
Patients and practice knowing the right key to use genres open up to those who play not to preform and those who perform because they can play
That’s cause it’s 2% technical skill and 98% soul. The blues is all feel. If you ain’t got it you can’t play it. It’s an African cultural art born out of suffering and centuries of oppression that very few white folks have been able to mimic.
@@thecowboypreacher6568 oh man i cant wait to suffer so i can play the blues like this.
Just glorious. My new idol. This from a white boy from the Scottish Highlands.
I love this guy, he plays blues, but let's you know it's gonna be alright. Every once in a while he has a smirk that's like a wink.
Thank you so much for posting this.
This is without doubt the best audio/ visual recording of the great man, that have ever seen
BRILLIANT
Greetings from Belfast, Northern Ireland
richardcorysghost Erin Gobrah
The best blues. Hands down. Burnside.
If this isn't the king of rock and roll, I don't know who is.
Er ist es aber leider war er Schwarz
Wie Chuck Berry
i cant get over how beautiful Peach Tree Blues song is... just pure bliss
It's amazing how much sound he is able to produce from that old acoustic. This video gives me a whole other take on R.L.Burnside. Thanks for posting.
Frank Hamilton I know! Sounds like 4 guitars.
Martin 000-18, possibly Golden Era. I wonder where that guitar is now . .
@@kameron95 At least two guitars. Got a Robert Johnson quality to his playing, but completely original, which is what makes him so special.
@@jimallen8 Golden Era ?
@@bohemian46 Hard to say w/o the serial #, but I have a Golden Era, and it looks (and sounds) exactly like the one he's playing. Now, if only I could play like him.
his whole face lights up when he smiles...these are the only times I can appreciate YT....
:D
give me this over any shredding any day of the week. This man is a national treasure.
R.L. Burnside, along with Robert Pete Williams and Mississippi Fred McDowell, deserve way more respect than they got. So fortunate to have these recordings.
This is a master class in playing the blues. I can play some of these already; time to learn the rest of them!
I like how his Martin has that scratch where he rests his fingers
