I was lucky enough to have seen R.L. live back in 1997 in a bar in Oxford Ms. He had a four piece electric band and brought the house down. The word on the street was when Mr Burnside was in town it was not to be missed and that was the truth!
Had the pleasure of seeing RL in Australia in the early 90's - after the Dave Stewart doco. "Deep Blues" was released. He was with a couple of other artists. At the end - the audience (1/2 full venue) asked him back for an encore. He asked what we wanted him to play. The audience answer - to a person was "Play anything - we just want to listen." Signed autographs - came across as a very humble man. He got a terrific ovation from an appreciative audience.
@@b.i.g.brothersinguitars249 He is a great technique guitarist, but "just" a follower. The really big ones were able to present something unique and innovative that made them stand out. It lacks the spark. I feel that way, but I may be wrong.
I saw R L Burnside in there early 90s , brought him a beer while he was playing and gave it to him , he smiled with a grin had a sip .. and than played on... Great night a true Blues man.. 10/10.
Gave RL a pack of menthols when he asked me for a cigarette on Madison Ave. at Huey's midtown the week after he played The Late Show on national TV. Rest in Power. The R L stands for Real Legend in my book.
That vocal inflection he uses at the end of a phrase, the shuffle, the phrasing. It’s all pure gold. RL Burnside should have a national holiday in his name.
@@adriannasanchez468 He said no 'fancy' electronics. Most acoustic guitars now have an add-on - or built-in - pickup, especially when they are singing on a mike.

The beauty of r.l. Burnside was his genuine indifference to fame and money, he had little to no interest in it. He was a bluesman in its purest form. His rhythm style sets the bar for all who try to imitate him. He was a true master of his craft, well seaso ned, this man truly lived the blues and it was obvious in his music.

There's nothing goofy about this man's smile. He's lived hard and claimed a life: “I didn't mean to kill nobody, I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord.” My point is that he's not shucking and jiving for our pleasure.
@@TheMAJArmor I said he's genuine, not "jiving for our pleasure". Didn't say there wasn't a lot of pain behind the smile because, as you point out, the lyrics clearly show such. But he does have a smile with great character, and it does make me smile. Just a passing comment with a positive take, not ignorant to the reality the pain in the world.
@@jayarava Drugs or no, there is a pure joy in his smile, and a lot of that is the music. Can't argue that there is other stuff, but RL loved what he was doing.
Absolute amazing. I hear today for the first time of this Talent. Omg I love his Songs. I love the Blues. I don’t listen the Blues only, i feel the Blues. I‘m the Blues :)
I love this man so much. Just laughing, singing and playing. Having good time. That smile is so infectios. Thank you, Mr R.L. Burnside. Showing that it's alright to play the guitar with your fingers. R.i.P. Mr R.L. Burnside.
If my day was crap I can listen to RL Burnside and come out smiling in appreciation of his great talent every time! thanks again for lifting my spirits RL and May God Rest Your Soul
A National Treasure that never got the accolades and monetary rewards he deserved. His guitar playing was amazing. Much respect and love to the memory of R. L. Burnside, a Blues legend.
Such amazingly good blues played with heart and soul.. R.L. has always been one of my great favourites.. I'll never forget his lovely but strong blues 💖👏👏👏
Jingles466 count me in Jingles. R. L.'s my favorite too. Real Deal Burnside. This is a wealth of cultural treasure. He's a cool breeze, come and gone. Like no other - and never will there be.
Years of house parties, playing in juke joints and friends houses. He mastered the craft and developed the driving perfect rhythms over droning strings. Genius.
When I played Mississippi Fred McDowell for an older co-worker, he thought it was 2 or 3 guys on guitar. These riffs are very basic and simple; anyone can learn them. The real trick is in the right-hand technique, which is not easy to master and get it to sound right without tangling up the rhythm and lead. Look up a Son House video - his right hand is flailing away and you can't imagine how he possibly hitting the strings.
We Love this guy to death at least i do from Gary Parris from North St Louis , he taught me how to play Guitar, that is for sure, unbelievable, Lord Have Mercy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your smile burns inside our heart every time you touch the guitar with your simplicity and make it become magic. Thank you great man, Thank you that you still exist in our hearts. Rest in peace, may the earth be light to you. THANK YOU.
finally i have found the music i was looking for so long from all the wrong places. Timeless music, that resonates the soul so hard that im starting to tremble from joy!
I’ve only known about this unbelievably talented blues legend for about 10 years or so, he is one of the absolute best blues musicians of my lifetime. R.I. P. R.L., God bless you and your family for your great work in the music 🎶 I love the most and used to play years ago.
That's back wood rhythm,that's right.You can't teach that, you have to feel the hard times ,You eat crap,drink nothing ,starve some, cry some, let down some,talked down to. All you got is sky,air ,A guitar ,and your life, and you entertain Yourself... other folks come around and think they've found something, The Blues is real life Hard times...
I've recently discovered this kind of music and immediately fallen in love with old blues rhytms... I am from much younger generation than probably most of today's blues listeners. But I never could understand the pop music... When I listen to blues, folk, jazz, music from 60's and earlier, I feel that it moves something deep in my soul... I just can't find it in today's music...
Effortless. Pure gnosis. Just human love, joy, pain ... life experience being broadcast directly into your soul. That smile ! It's like everything going to be ok .. Thanks R.L.
R.L. Burnside, along with Robert Pete Williams and Mississippi Fred McDowell, deserve way more respect than they got. So fortunate to have these recordings.
I'm so blessed to have friends from this amazing family of Holly Springs blues masters.... Trenton Ayers!!!! That's my brotha!! And on drums... Cedric Burnside. Descendant's of Hill Country represent!
2024 and none of these fancy blues dudes with their fancy guitars and hired guns can even come close to this. Truly a unique talent and beautiful soul.

Saw him in New Orleans on Halloween night at the House of Blues in ‘97. They boogied that place HARD.
This is the blues right here
give me this over any shredding any day of the week. This man is a national treasure.

R L brings the memories back.
this talented man did not need a band, i would trust that smile all day long.

Some weed helps, and sometimes stronger stuff comes around, and the music and folks is fun.
None of them wanted hard times. They want to party! And he did!
wanda James he had 13 kids so yes he had fun
No doubt! That's all natural right there. He's got the soul of blues in his fingers.
You nailed it on the head
Rock on RL. You can stand with all the other greats in blues heaven. A sound all his own, he sounds like no one else.

Effortless. Pure gnosis. Just human love, joy, pain ... life experience being broadcast directly into your soul. That smile ! It's like everything going to be ok .. Thanks R.L.
On my way I met this one man band with one instrument, song and soul. Enjoy, I may not pass this way again!
Man, I have seen this live session in the last 3 weeks, at least twice for day. This video deserves to be seen for the future humanity.
One of my favorite bluesmen! what a treasure!
What a groove. These blues men really got it down packed. Drums bass coming out of one guitar sounds great
The guitar really is incredible. I think the piano is maybe the only instrument that's as versatile.
I love his guitar style, just really honest. He's brilliant.
Mississippi hill country blues
great brilliant
The world needs to listen to this wonderful music !
R.L. Burnside, along with Robert Pete Williams and Mississippi Fred McDowell, deserve way more respect than they got. So fortunate to have these recordings.

Amazing sounds coming from one voice and an acoustic guitar! And it’s hypnotic to boot! This guy was great! 🎸😎👏🏻
Amazing 😀
He still is...I think.
amazing. a men , a smile, he play the guitar with his soul. so simple.
Had the PLEASURE of seeing R.L. at a small club in Ottawa 1995. Simply Amazing
Saw him in Australia - mid 90's he was great - and chatted to those of us who stayed around after the show. Even got an autograph for my son.
I love this music. RL Burnside was bringing it every time.
Great Song ,
Great Groove,
Great Performance!
The crazy thing is his musical career didn't really take off until about 10 years after this performance - much love R.L.
He is absolutely in my top 10 Blues Artists ever! And deservedly so!
First I've ever heard this man, thank you based algorithm. He is excellent, gave me music shivers.
that's a voice ! That's a Man, a Mensch ! That's a Soul!

his whole face lights up when he smiles...these are the only times I can appreciate YT....

Lived inside that old voice so long
Patinaed in whisky and smoke
so sweet and mellow
Thee old
High and lonesome
Once again
Always Another joint always another song
Ripping and rumbling all nite long
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now
Mee tooo.....he's a humble artifact..a cornerstone
The beauty is in the simplicity. Stunning music.
Love his deep mature southern vocals, Its Bad You Know!❤️😍 yes great guitar playing
I think the argument could be made that all popular American music can trace its roots back to this, the purest of art forms, the blues.
First time I have heard him. I love this music, just great blues.
Just a man and his guitar. R.L. has soul, soul, soul, and more soul. Love him and his music🎶🎸🎶🎸
