I sat in many times with Cedric who always welcomed me. He's the best drummer in this hill country blues style. He is powerful!!! They did great stuff with Lightnin' Malcolm too. His grandpa must be proud of him!
@@markgriffin9699 , we can only hope so. I had a shaking my head moment recently, talking to a twenty-something kid who played a couple of songs on guitar at a memorial recently. I asked him who his favorite guitar players were, predictably he said John Mayer, Clapton, Joe Bonamassa and Stevie Ray Vaughan. My response to him was that "you're missing about 50 years of music prior to those guys!". This kid had never even heard of Bo Diddley! Or Brownie McGhee, or Freddy King and Albert King....much less Blind Willie Johnson, Fred McDowell, Tampa Red and so on.
The real shame about R.L. is that just as he was starting to get widely noticed and making some money, his health started to fail him. Well, that's the Blues, I guess. Credit to Fat Possum Records for sticking with him and making him more widely known.
I saw him at the Horseshoe Toronto around 93 maybe ,taped it. but then lost the fucking tape somehow in a move! So glad I was able to see him and relive that show several times before I lost it . Awesome show with full band including his son too.Me and my buddy went backstage and we were smoking joints with him, he was so cool .
I read the comments and I am sooooooo pleased that there are many of you who love this stuff, that is just perfect, Burnside's name will be remembered forever!
I've just heard about him. He was amazing and I'm a bit pissed that he never got the recognition he deserved. But as you said, he's going to be remembered forever. He's still gaining fans. Hell of an artist.
I will never forget the first time I heard R L Burnside. I went to our local Fred Meyers store to drop off some shoes for repair. I heard this blues singer on the radio, and a young man of about twenty working there told me, "That's R L Burnside. I can't believe you've never heard of him. He's a famous blues singer." This was about ten years ago, and I never forgot him. That is pure, raw, beautiful talent!!!
This is Mississippi Hill Country Blues at its finest. Gives me chills each and every time I listen to it. "Burnside on Burnside" is the best Blues album I ever bought. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yup. I'm not a blues expert, but I've got a broad collection of music and of the blues I've checked out RL Burnside is a stand out act. That album in particular is astonishingly captivating.
Seen Cedric many times. He's a badass behind the kit and has now stepped out and plays guitar. Had the pleasure of seeing RL a couple of times before he passed. Love this music.
If you know his story, we are lucky we heard that shout at all. He was a sharecropper in a house with a dirt floor and couldn't afford a guitar for a while. Recorded his first songs on a borrowed guitar when he was "discovered" by a musicologist in 1977.
What y’all don’t understand, all them rock bands from the Beatles to the stones, zeppelin, sabbath, you name em. This music your hearing right here is what they was chasin.
Same here. Thanks to Auerbach and Carney I discovered Bonamassa, Kimbrough, Burnside, Trout, T Model Ford, Lightnin' Hopkins and a whole slew of good old raw blues talent which floods my speakers daily. :)
Mr RL Burnside is being shown on u tube in takes at his home back yard. Pure genius and talent unbridled. A true music maker. A true sense of his poor upbringing I presume in the deep south of America. His love of blues and his talent is a joy to listen to. A real gentlemen.
R.L BURNSIDES!!! i love his music!! i am a southern boy, i moved to mississippi in 83-84, lived by the leaf river. wish i could have met R.L !!!!!! rip, mr. R.L. !!!
Damn. I cam see now where The Black Keys got their sound, from these Hill Country guys. Amazing! I haven't picked up my guitar in 2 months. Time to blow the dust off
It's quite the journey. Junior Kimbrough and Fat Possum. Spend some time digging through the Alan Lomax Archives. Somewhere along the way you'll bump into JJ Cale and then you'll be pleased to learn about artists like Paul Benjamin and Jontavious Willis who are just knocking it out of the park and you can go see live TODAY (2022)! I saw both of them in a living room last night.
I was lucky enough to see RL 'live' in a small club in Glasgow, Scotland in 1999, incredible talent with brilliant backing from Cedric and Kenny. No earthly reason why RL shouldn't be mentioned alongside John Lee Hooker, et al as one of the blues greats.
Love the sweet southern vibe this three piece brings! R.L. was amazing and his music will always stay alive with these amazing riffs! So cool this tv show captured the magic on this performance! Thanks for posting this vid y'all! -Trey
Goes direct to heart,hypnotic pulse,fascinating .Fantastic drummer,fantastic voice,fantastic everything!! Makes me cry,It is 2.22 am,I should go sleeping,but can t,watch again and again and again...to death
I love this redition of rollin and tumblin, and I love north hill country blues. I've noticed in all my favourite music, my most favourite is all very repetitive, more like rhythms than melodies. Maybe it's the cave man in me, but it's beautifully simple and simply beautiful.
I watched this fella playing for his family at his home in independence, mizzzzizzzhzzippah. It's good to see his kin kept on playing the drums with him.
Drummer is his grandson Cedric Burnside, who carries on to this day.
Nice to know. Thanks.
Cedric Burnside Project as well as a few others from the past few years...he kills on drums!
Sloan Skylar both Cedric and Kenny Brown were in Black Snake Moan backing up Sam Jackson
That young man kicks
thank you, i was wondering who he is
This 84 year old white Texan still loves that music and always will!
I've watched this at least 30 times. All Burnside's music is addictive. He's a person to study. A real musician.
INCREDIBLE!!!FROM BELGIUM I DISCOVER THIS MAN NOW!!!I LOVE IT!!!! FABULOUS !!
His children are still delivering the music. Mississippi has got some fresh chops centered in Clarksdale.
He is the “Bach” of the blues to me.
Yep
Ditto I play him over and over and over
RL Burnside the real deal. Pure blues from the heart.
The drummer is so proud to be there, and he should be! No other band in the world has this same sound.
His grandson
Cedric Burnside. He's a great musician in his own right too - definitely check him out
I sat in many times with Cedric who always welcomed me. He's the best drummer in this hill country blues style. He is powerful!!! They did great stuff with Lightnin' Malcolm too. His grandpa must be proud of him!
Absolute, that's alright man🥁🎸
@@johnwarner1297yes - great drummer, singer, and guitarist!
Burnside just another angel in heaven.
Alan Lomax is a hero for shedding light on all these guys for so many decades. What a fantastic musician and the drummer kicks ass too.
Like a machine man! Never misses a beat!
Above comment says its burnsides grandson, Cedric ….i agree the locked in rythm is hypnoticly perfect
Cedric killing it on the drums!!
R.L looks like he just put in a hard days work then straight to the stage .....Legend
Kenny Brown on Guitar... Cedrick on drums... R.L. on everything else... This is what North Mississippi hillcountry blues is all about!!!
Looks like Jim McCarty on guitar
The blues is here to stay!!

That's true, that's true.

That's not a shame. Who needs fame n fortune when you got the rhythm n blues
Jon Spencer too.
@@yanbibiya well it doesn't get you a fridge full
No hole in his soul.

This guys a rhythmic genius, and his blues is hard as nails.
si le rythmique d 'acdc entendais cela il serais mort avant
(malcom young)

I played with RL in a Blues Bar gig in 1989 in Holland ,Real nice guy ,great experience !
What's fun is when you turn someone on to RL and see that look on their face like "fuck yeah i dig this."
Rob TheSinner haaa did that to my coworker yesterday. Gotta tune in turn up and drink it down.
I've just heard about him. He was amazing and I'm a bit pissed that he never got the recognition he deserved. But as you said, he's going to be remembered forever. He's still gaining fans. Hell of an artist.
@@thirdgen377 He is recognized by us, true lovers of music.
This performance is addictive. I've watched it about 20 times now.
So raw and what a killer groove. RIP Mr. RL Burnside. Cedric killed the drums in this. 😁
Nobody will ever be able to express the blues like the greats, ever again. I was raised right with this music!
I will never forget the first time I heard R L Burnside. I went to our local Fred Meyers store to drop off some shoes for repair.

how happy is cedric to be playing with his grandpa.....the era of reality talent shows?....this is talent, MARVELLOUS
No kidding.
I'm sure it was such a pleasure
Is he the little boy from the family jamming video ???
I think so
hope hes happy. he looks pumped
This is Mississippi Hill Country Blues at its finest. Gives me chills each and every time I listen to it. "Burnside on Burnside" is the best Blues album I ever bought. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Seen Cedric many times. He's a badass behind the kit and has now stepped out and plays guitar. Had the pleasure of seeing RL a couple of times before he passed. Love this music.
Solid, driving and steady!
video is great...rl was a personal friend of mine...picture sittin on the couch and jammin with rl and passin the whisky bottle...rip my friend
I can't stop listening to Mr. Burnside...
When I first heard him, I got hooked. I still am !
Addictive as hell ain't he!?😂👍
Well you could, you just won't!!
i have a song out now on sound cloud if you would like to hear more Mr Burnside
i go by the name los vin
The timing of the chord progressions in this song is absolutely amazing.
I noticed that also!
If you know his story, we are lucky we heard that shout at all. He was a sharecropper in a house with a dirt floor and couldn't afford a guitar for a while. Recorded his first songs on a borrowed guitar when he was "discovered" by a musicologist in 1977.
This guy lived through Blues. Legend.
we all love Mr Burnside
I’ve heard this song before. I’ve never heard it played this good. Remarkable heavy blues musician with a signature sound.
Just love that Northern Mississippi Hill country blues. It's a hypnotic groove that just pulls you in & I never get tired of listening to it.
Crank Mr.Burnside way up in my Jeep all the time. Best music to drive to!
Cedric Burnside is great and he helped a lot of us get to enjoy Mr R.L. Burnside
I'm so glad that so many people appreciate this.
Dang! Cedric is stokin' that train like a conductor on swamp beans.
LOL.
I don't know what it means but I like it!!!
It just doesn't get any better than this.....this encapsulates the true meaning of music.
I just saw his grandson Kent Burnside in Newton Iowa this weekend and yes it was awesome Hill Country Blues.
Some big talent there. This bluesman is gorgous ! R.L Burnside is a big Master.
Damn what a legend. You can feel every note in this performance. Thank God for the Blues🎸🎶🎸🎶
Playing that guitar duet and sounding like one is really amazing to me.
RL is the man! Have had the pleasure of seeing him live, one of my greatest memories! R.I.P.
Absolutely brilliant. The number of blues men who owe this guy a debt is phenomenal.
From W.A, Western Australia totally sick right on crew
Just beautiful Burnside !
+Gerin Hess yes of cors
What a fella & how's dat for a grandson 💯
Love an respect from London 💪🙏💯🇬🇧
What y’all don’t understand, all them rock bands from the Beatles to the stones, zeppelin, sabbath, you name em. This music your hearing right here is what they was chasin.
So true!
Insane drums. Makes the genius of R.L stand out. Fantastic. The level of this music is beyond.
What a version! Raw and simple arrangement, with THAT gravel voice and the great man front n centre sitting on a chair. Cool
Awesome backbeat!!
"If the river was whiskey, and I was a diving duck, I would never come up." If that ain't some badass lyrics, then nothing is.....
ripperduck sure does give a glimpse into his mind
ripperduck I agree that the lyrics are good, but I don’t think he made that part up. Listen to this song. ua-cam.com/video/qFSAc3E1hWc/v-deo.html
My favorite version by Taj & Mo
ua-cam.com/video/H3sDygsxvSg/v-deo.html
That line is from a very old song called Rye Whiskey.
I'd dive to the bottom....
The Black Keys turned me on to Junior Kimbrough, Kimbrough turned me on to Burnside, I now listen to a whole lot of Burnside.
Same here. Thanks to Auerbach and Carney I discovered Bonamassa, Kimbrough, Burnside, Trout, T Model Ford, Lightnin' Hopkins and a whole slew of good old raw blues talent which floods my speakers daily. :)
CAre to share a link?
Was a fan of R.L. since 2000, last week discovered Kimbrough through him. Good stuff.
Hes a bad dude , his grandson can play the shit out the drums as well
The Black Keys are a fantastic gateway drug!
The world need more of this RL
This makes me so proud to be an American.. I adore R.L. Burnside!
Mr RL Burnside is being shown on u tube in takes at his home back yard.
Pure genius and talent unbridled.
A true music maker.
A true sense of his poor upbringing I presume in the deep south of America.
His love of blues and his talent is a joy to listen to.
A real gentlemen.
I cant believe how hard this rocks!
Sweet Jesus! Praise the Lord...the man has some licks..RIP
Wow, good stuff here.
R.L BURNSIDES!!! i love his music!! i am a southern boy, i moved to mississippi in 83-84, lived by the leaf river. wish i could have met R.L !!!!!! rip, mr. R.L. !!!
Drummer is unbelievable & so is this whole performance. R.L.'s music leaves me speechless.
I've been diggin on R.L. for years. Love all of his C.D,s He is so damn good.
If you like this one.."Jumper on the line" by RL. I've learned so much from that vid its crazy long live Burnside
That was the first one I saw and I’m hooked now
@@babyjesuslovesme1219 saw him live in the 1990's just after "Deep Blues" doco was made. Just sat and played. Brilliant.
Right on Starke ! You got it right there ! Blues is all about passion !
I saw that video and literally fixed all the problems I had with my right hand rhythm woes. There’s magic in this music
Long live Burnside fr, he’s up in heaven having a jam session with all the blues greats now. Must be one hell of a party up there! R.i.p legend.
The guy was phenomenal and his grandson a total powerhouse. Looks like Mike Rutherford on guitar bizarrely...long way from Supper's Ready
Supper's ready is one of my all time favs
Junior Kimbrough was my introduction to the Hill Country Blues, but R.L. made me fall in love with it.
just damn bad assssssssssss....
This is tribal music... is the sound of our hearts beating... nothing can compare with this raw feeling.
c 'est l'afrique.
Thank you from the soulless parts of scal. You make me feel and dance
Oh man, this has a groove.
RIP Mr. Burnside.
God loves R.L.Burnside, and so do I..
The drummer fucking rules!
Wow ! Is that Cedric and Kenny Brown with RL? What a happy surprise this morning.
Man I ❤ this . Good old blues . Rl burnside is a legend. ❤ him.

The drummer is so cool - they don't need a bass player! R L's grandson I hear.
I'm hooked,I can't stop watching this. I need help!
I was lucky enough to see RL 'live' in a small club in Glasgow, Scotland in 1999, incredible talent with brilliant backing from Cedric and Kenny. No earthly reason why RL shouldn't be mentioned alongside John Lee Hooker, et al as one of the blues greats.
Really great!💙
Got to love that RL Burnside style, it never gets old!
Mesmerizing!....
I love it
The drummer is great
RL should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . Real Performer . That’s called a riff .Like shelling peas for the great man .
No one can kick ass like R L Burnside. I was so lucky to be introduced to his music at such a young age. Life changing!!!!
Love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿
Love the sweet southern vibe this three piece brings! R.L. was amazing and his music will always stay alive with these amazing riffs! So cool this tv show captured the magic on this performance! Thanks for posting this vid y'all!

JES
That's called rhythm and blues
"the engineer blows the whistle, the fire man he rang the bell"
I watched this fella playing for his family at his home in independence, mizzzzizzzhzzippah. It's good to see his kin kept on playing the drums with him.
Can’t help but get lost in that groove.
Wow..... How did I miss this one?!!!!
A beautiful piece of work. It's his alone
The best bluesman I've ever had the pleasure to meet.
3 generations of the Burnside family. It doesn't getting much more inspiring than this.
The blues is the best genre no fancy shredddy stuff, just simple rythmn and soul
I like all Burnside music, but I love it when gets out the slide.
hes just like fine wine he got better with age R.I.P.
Cant stop listening to RL. The man is the blues
OMG! This is Great! Another Great Blues Groove by RL Burnside!
Seen him live, one of the best concerts I've been to
This brought me to tears,I ain't kiddin!
