The raw, powerful, authentic delta blues emanating from Mississippi's living legend R.L. Burnside on First Recordings will please blues purists and audiophiles alike. Recorded in 1968 by George Mitchell utilizing "a portable $168 recorder, a shack and lots of cheap rum," Burnside's dynamic voice, foot stomp, acoustic guitar encapsulate the emerging mastery of a voice unmarked by 35 years of Northern Mississippi hard living.
