R.L. BURNSIDE - SOUND MACHINE GROOVE (180g LP)

R.L. Burnside Sound Machine Groove on 180g LP

Recorded by folklorist David Evans in 1979 and 1980, Sound Machine Groove contains R.L. Burnside's first recordings with electric guitar and a band. His backing group, aptly named the Sound Machine, happened to be made up of members of his own family.

Nonetheless, Burnside and company marvelously meld raw Mississippi blues with disparate qualities of urban soul, funk and R&B here and the results are pure gold. Highlights include a version of "Sitting On Top of the World," with Burnside on slide guitar. Mississippi blues at its finest!
