If you cant do what this guy is doing, no matter what genre you play, you aint got shit, mans sat in a field probably got a car battery hooked up to the amp, and no auto tune or fx in sight and he kicks ass, people need to learn a bit from his example. Music about expression not fancy equipment, he could probably make music with anything he wanted and it would be better than todays si called talent, a true artist
This is such a good demonstration on how most American music derives from the blues. Soul, rock, funk, you can feel it all in here. But the real thing that strikes me is that he's likely self taught on the guitar (based on his technique) and plays with incredible feel and rhythm.
I saw RL in Newcastle (Australia ) in the early 1990's after the release of the "Deep Blues" documentary. He played with other artists at a club venue which was only 3/4 full. Audience consisted of university students and old Blues enthusiasts like myself. At the end of the night he played an encore and the whole venue shouted for more. He asked what we wanted to hear - The answer was "anything". He was so unassuming - signed autographs - talked with audience members. It was a great show - but RL was the star.
That sounds like a pure and one of a kind moment , the whole show I mean, what a privilege to witness it , blues back in the day had such a big and wonderful community I hope to see broaden as wide again
@@sz1273 being famous can come different ways. Charles Manson and Lee Harvey Oswald went out famous. Jeffrey Dahmer. Too. Go out any way you like. Know Music Man was just stating a fact.
He's like John Lee hooked his guitar is the drums the bass and guitar all at the same time. Then he sings on top. They don't make these guys any more. He was the coolest musician I ever met. Hung out with him for 3 or four hours partying after one of his shows. I think I became a better musician just by sitting next to him. So cool that guy.
Durk Durka my name is Michael Williams. I'm an aspiring blues artist. I'm very interested in networking and connecting with people. Can I get a sub back?
I opened for RL. At a blues fest him and Cedric dug my drumming and our band, I was so honored got to pass the bottle around with them, tho I think Ced didn't drink. God bless us all.
R. L. Burnside (November 23, 1926 - September 01, 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. ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
RL burnsides, hypnotic, droning rhythms,and SAVANT timekeeping,, and authentic country bluesmans voice, with the ever present hidden sexual innuendos, expressive lyrics,,,,,no one on earth ever!!!!!!!!,,,,,,yeeessss I know!!!!!😎
Ya just know that was his BEST shirt - prob a Christmas gift - and he just LUVED it to death. That’s LEGEND STATUS right der. RIP R.L - you R sorely missed in these troubled times.
'See My Jumper Hangin On The Line' was my first taste of RL's music a few years back. I've been a fan from the first time I heard it. I've listened to as much of his music as I could find. What a treasure.
This is an old folk song that has been around since the 1800s, though modified from artist to artist the original recording was released by Gus Cannon(banjo/vocals) and Blind Blake(Guitar) in 1927, on side B was "He's in the Jailhouse Now" (Also the first recorded version) by the same artists.
This song is standard tuning tuned up one step. RL didn't use a tuner, just got it close because he didn't care. It's simply an E minor and E Minor Penatonic Scale. Easy in essence, difficult because there is soul.
And his use of rhythm is profound. It sounds like something straight out of Senegal. Like Farka Toure or something. I'd like to see folks try and recreate it.
This guy kept going throughout his musical career...appealed to everyone from rock'n'rollers to old country blues fanatics. I was so happy to find his music and sad when he passed.
This just prove to me I don’t need an youtube tutorial on how to play the guitar it’s about finding your own sweet spot doing it your own way...this man is strumming with his index finger mainly
tnx to my dad ,r.i.p. ik whats real blues is. he loved all blues legends but he always said that RL is unique bc hes guitar style n voice makes his heart cry.srry for my bad english,im balkan damn ;)
This is amazing. Just a soul venting, and giving others a chance right along with him also. This is same rhythm l think as his "jumpers" tune? Tryin to figure out the tuning ... not standard. Not sure.
The most gracious, humble, infectious smile he possessed, talented, no more of this in our days of a magician will we see.....may the creator rest your soul in peace...that was when the world was alive, now surley it's sick with Satan✊🏿
Great smile. He was probably just happy that he got to share a song that he wrote with someone new. He takes a lot of justifiable pride in it. Like most prolific artists, he was only truly discovered not long before he died.

This is how Blues was meant to be heard, with crickets and cicadas in the background.

this exact session is what appears in my mind whenever i think i need new music gear
Auto tune is made for No talent.
Damn right
@@OIP_1 or a pick. But it makes me want a nice shirt!
I'm pretty mad there's not an album of him just playing solo in his backyard
You can get the Alan Lomax recordings on a label called Roundet Records…
@@Kowasi google RL Burnside 1984
Making a playlist of these now 👍
there'is first recordings in which he'is only with his guitar
You're mad about that?

yea. the fame they gave him in his later life killed him. The money he made easy was all spent on whiskey. drank himself to death.

@@knowmusicman157 i rather go out drunk and famous than poor and unknown.

Never mind the music that shirt definitely needed to be preserved for future generations.
Genius with a golden smile
RIP Mr. Burnside...

Ohh god! and the look in his eyes...
no rest just parties I guess
R. L. is the real King. My absolute favorite. This is what it's all about. Proud Mississippian and proud to be listening to the real King of music.
He seemed very shy.. and humble.
white people always made him uncomfortable.....but ya know
He killed a man once, over a game of dice
He just doesn't want you looking at his secrets guitar moves
@@oscar9680 he didn't shoot to kill him tho that was between him and the lord RL just shot him in the head XD
Robert Lee Burnside! It doesn't get any better than this (period).
He's like John Lee hooked his guitar is the drums the bass and guitar all at the same time. Then he sings on top. They don't make these guys any more. He was the coolest musician I ever met. Hung out with him for 3 or four hours partying after one of his shows. I think I became a better musician just by sitting next to him. So cool that guy.
Such an inspiration as a musician as well, I'd appreciate it if you could listen to my songs on my channel and tell me what you think
That riff can go with anything.
This is the best version of this song. And the riff is sooo good. Especially the lead he does. It’s almost like the lead is the chorus of the song.
He is hell of a guitar player
Hell of..👍🎶💕
So much funk and soul in this man. A true one man band.
if you can't boogie to that well then i can't help you. That's absolute boogie.
no one will ever sound like this I'm an advanced guitar player but the soul that comes out of this is amazing!
If you can hear it, you can find it!
.....Him n Skip James can’t be compared to another blues boy
with a name like Cederic Ratcliff...you better be an advanced guitar player!
@alterdestiny Exactly ! His comment told me that he's not really into playing hills blues.
yeah I can't figure out how he does the "chaka" part if you know what I mean
camera guy was like....."ooooh berries".
Tyler Stuckey and not just any berries the poisonous poke berry.
haha :D
Camera man was like, oh shit, this guy is uncomfortable....lets go look away...ooh berries!
Durk Durka my name is Michael Williams. I'm an aspiring blues artist. I'm very interested in networking and connecting with people. Can I get a sub back?
Tyler Stuckey ahhhh
He doesn't even know how good he is! ❤
Thanks to Alan Lomax Project to keep this music for ever alive and give us, around the world, the chance to know the roots of so special music.
WE ALL LOVE R L BURNSIDE
Hes eyes ❤️ sad and happy at the same time 🌾🎸
Blues l’ do it to ya
I opened for RL. At a blues fest him and Cedric dug my drumming and our band, I was so honored got to pass the bottle around with them, tho I think Ced didn't drink. God bless us all.
Because drinking got his daddy in a lot of trouble eventually killed him.
Northern MS hill country blues is blues and magic! A true artform.
Yeah! This is real music here... My music ears have been expanded 👍
Look up the black keys "the moan" it's a good homage to this song
Sir William Henry Perkin love the crickets in the background.
True that!
I was listening to the Black Keys version of this song and dang! RL killed this even more with just the one guitar 🎶

Probably one of the most underrated musicians of all time this guy is awesome
A true master of the blues 💙
He's the King of Shirts! Live that shirt!😍😍😍
Heard this from the black keys, glad to be redirected.
Same!
'See My Jumper Hangin On The Line' was my first taste of RL's music a few years back. I've been a fan from the first time I heard it. I've listened to as much of his music as I could find. What a treasure.
SAME here, bought as much as his music too to support his existing family. His grandson Cedric is great too.
That smile is priceless. So is his music.
I cannot listen to this without nearly crying....beautiful
*How true. This single recoding is... in/of & by itself... a free-standing & right proper **_masterpiece._*

I've loved this since it was "See My Jumper Hanging on the Line."

This recording should be used in an action movie... Freakin epic. This man is a genius
His singin always soun fah away
Like comn in from da field
A long long way off
This is his best rendition of this song.
Just exactly how would you know that?
@@francus7227its called an opinion, genius
@@Fondofmelobster
"I think that" = opinion
"Is" = fact
This sh!t never gets old. And thanks to the recording talents of @AlanLomaxArchive, it never will ☮️
I love these old blues tunes. Thank you for posting.
RL had the talent and oh whata sound😊
Of the soul .........it's not about where your from it's about where you're at
I wish i could just listen to his stories more. I just feel that he is worth listening to.
You all should check out Cedric Burnside. Keeping his legacy alive.
G'day from Australia. If I went to America I would love to see stuff like this. The south seems really interesting. Forget Hollywood or Disneyland.
Plenty of good music in Australia too!
I saw him in Australia. I think he only visited once. Great show. True blues music.
The haunting howl of Hill Country Blues always feels just raw and real
I've heard of RL and I've heard this song before but not this version wow
Man that riff is funky
Super
Amitiés de France
Im glad the Black Keys bring back this song for the young people.
I love it. I can’t stop to repeat this great song. It’s fantastic. Best ever 👍
I'm feeling that rhythm and blues
Beautiful smile & soul - & totally unpretentious. 🎼
That's epic with crickets accompanying him.
Thank you
Without even trying he exudes coolness and humility.
I like how the lyrics change with each song, but the guitar riff stays pretty much the same!
01:58 Berries. Your time to shine. Take it away!
Berries Manilow
You saw the opportunity and went for it
Man....those berries are sweet as hell.
Alex Maione lol
Could be a reference to Mr. Chuck…
Have to laugh. This song is strangely familiar. "Jumper on my Line." He just changed the lyrics. Now I have to decide which one I like the best.
Laugh all you want.....did you watch the tv show????????????Ironic the name of it was Can you hear me laughing or something like that....check it out
@@stevecasey6582 what is this tv show of which you speak?
Yes he changed the lyrics and guitar part it's a little bit different
There’s a little bit of a different giddy up to it
do you comprehend the concepts of boogie and blues?
Fantastic voice
Killer R. I. P
nothing but sympathy for the record industry. god bless all lomax .
This is awesome!
This music comes from deep within the soul. No jive
The people who hit dislike are no friends of mine.
Rip Mr Burnside you are greatly missed
Damn. That index finger picking. That's unusual and interesting.
Year I was born... Thanks R.L. Burnside for teaching #TheBlackKeys somethings!!!
Such beautiful music 💙

@@fabriceployart5124 True. But similar stringed instruments to what he plays have equivalent traditions in Senogambia.
Thank you!
That shirt though too cool😎

In sottofondo si sentono i grilli e le voci dei bimbi. Seduto "sopra" l'amplificatore in mezzo ad un prato: un'opera d'arte multimediale.
Truly one of the greatest sounds of ever heard.

Step across that line
Tear down that wall
