    I really liked this, but I played Harp, and some guitar behind R.L. Burnside mostly between 1982 - 1994, and lived with him the summer of 1982. R.L. had many recordings before Fat Possum became involved with him, but of course none made him much money. Though we toured all over the States, Europe, even in the Caribbean it wasn't until Fat Possum became involved with R.L. that he began to make serious money because they really knew how they wanted to promote R.L., and his trio. Before that with Cedric Burnside's Father Calvin Jackson we played as a trio with Calvin on drums. We were both living in Holland. I just recently sold some old recordings of R.L., and I to Fat Possum. Hopefully it will help the Burnsides in some way. Thanks.

    Great stuff Big Train! One of my all time favorite blues recordings is Fenton Robinson's "Someone Loan Me A Dime" by Boz Scaggs with Duane Allman playing guitar. Fantastic track. The only problem is that kids today have no idea why he's asking for a dime!

    • @BigTrainBlues
