2:46 the baby in the background cries in key, the kid feels it too...

Hypnotic and enchanting music from the Buddha-like RL Burnside.

You can see in his smiles that he really loved to play, a modest man, but so raw as mentioned.

Because he was a full blown alcoholic. Son of bitch spent most of his most of his cash on booze

This shit is so outstanding. I could listen to it all day.

fantastic. one of the most important blues recordings from the 70s

This is the roots music of roots music. I can watch R L over and over. Check out 'Poor Black Mattie" as well for the way he inflects the lines and waits for the forth line in every verse. I've never seen a blues player do that, and it's brilliant!

Shake 'em on down good 'un too

Life before screen addiction. Beautiful.

His right hand is possessed. R.L. was truly the last of the great bluesmen. This one performance alone puts him up with the best of the best. Rumour has it his foot went on stamping for days after he died. The kid ended up drumming with him I think?

Awesome footage of the Mississippi Master at work, beautiful, thank the Lord for Alan Lomax, R.L blows me away

I really admire these kinds of musicians who can sound like a whole band with just one guitar

Johnny Cash once said that the rhythm of his music was heavily influenced by the rumble and the chug of railroad trains passing by in the night. You can really hear that influence in R.L.'s rhythm guitar style as well, don't you think?

R. L. Didnt grew up with trains around. As kid, while working in the field, rhythm sections use to roam the roads. With that big bass drum, smaller ones and some wind instruments. As kid he felt he would love to do that. I learned this from that documentary about hill countr Mississippi blues. Peace

It was very enjoyable to see the Burnside kids learning musicianship from such a master of that skill. One of his best performances with a great atmosphere.

What an unspoken bluesman. Love this video, thank you. True blues.

Nothing fancy but I could listen to this man all day and night long! Anyone can play the blues but you need the heart and soul to make it genuine! This gets me bouncin around the house and my kids think im crazy eventually they are bouncin right beside me🎶

Thank you so much Alan Lomax for documenting this...

I saw RL open for Jon Spencer in Vancouver back in 1996. His grooves are spellbinding.

One of the best performances I've ever seen before you can't find stuff like this anymore I wish things would go back to being like this

Love to hear anything I’ve never heard from RL. Thanks for posting

Welcoming everyone back here for their periodic Master Class. Study well. 🎸

Give everything I own to have been stood in that field in ‘78

He isn’t IN the groove, he IS the groove. I have a screenshot as wallpaper on my phone from this of him smiling in this , and like a year later it’s still there. Peace

After hopping from clip to clip on You Tube, before sleeping, it mostly ends here : the REAL and GENUINE BLUES !

I never understood why RL never got the recognition he deserved. His music is 10x better than BB King or Muddy Waters and more raw. Only Robert Johnson comes close... though RL will always be the king of Blues!

If I had a time machine this is where I’d go

Thank you for sharing, this is brilliant! ;o)

I have no idea how old he is. Well I guess you are right, my bad it was an assumption on my part I will admit.

trop fort

I dont know if he is playing on tube amp but I have similarly small tube amp and it sounds clean unless gain on full. I wanted to express that such small tube combos which are clean sounding produces the best sound for me it does not get better than that, this simple tube driven clean sound ! More pedals, effects you add the worse it is. Only needed is some reverb and thats it. I never get bored of that sound. But when I add distortion, overdrive and fuzz pedals this overdriven sound it actually limits the sound and frequency expression so much and such distorted sounds.. I never seems to be satisfied I always feel need to tweak some frequencies, gain level, volume level etc all the time I am never satisfied for a long time, but clean tube driven sound is so rich in frequency, expression and warm and full I never feel need to tweak the sounds constantly and become bored with it. Clean tube sound with electric that uses alnico pickups just gives endless expressive sound openness and dont have any need to change the sounds, simple and most complex at the same time. The point is more distorted the sound more sound is actually weak and ruined. Yes clean sound if done properly is actually much more powerful and satisfactory than any distorted sound. JUst like we say of my head or mind feel so disturbed, or I have distorted perception or fuzzy head when we dont feel good but when we feel clear in mind we never feel bad its always good feel. Invention of distortion actually ruined the sound. Stay clean and clear.

Intense wow

That was so cool!!

love this guy.

@Kreln1221

I don't know... Sure... It's a ultra cheap Teisco, with a "What in the hell is that thing?" amp... But that cheap plywood plank is just oozin' mojo. It's a bit like Jimmy Page using a cheap Masonite Danelectro to write and always perform Kashmir. Plus... Sure... A Tele sounds way more "Pro", with more sustain, high end, and low end, but..., that great Tele tone is much more common and ubiquitous, as about a Bazillion great artists have used them on a Brazilion great albums and stages. Burnsides' old modded Teisco might not be considered as good an instrument as a Fender Tele, but it and that cheap assed amp give him a tone all his own that oozes mojo...

THE BLUES!!!

The king!!!

Slick af in that shirt, pants and boots. Playing that geetaar like a slick mfer.

Hell yea!

There's a great picture of R.L.& Jr. K., just hanging i enjoy that they shared time & tunes, " how long can you moan", I was born a decade too late...
