R.L. BURNSIDE - FIRST RECORDINGS (LP)

R.L. Burnside First Recordings On Vinyl LP

These astounding recordings started R.L. Burnside's storied career. The intensity of these songs fortells well the power of his great records that followed. R.L. Burnside's way of doing things or Burnside Style, as the man himself has written on the hood of his old van, has often been mistaken as indifference. Rather, he regards the music-making machine with polite amusement. The songs on First Recordings capture Burnside at his home in 1968, when he was farming for a living, and only playing for family and friends.
