blues explosion with RL Burnside BOOGIE CHILLEN

[KMFCM]

where is the one where Jon asks him for "40 nickels for a bag of potato chips"??

[lexo30]

I like the story that Burnside commented to a friend about Jon Spencer, 'You know, I like that boy, but he ain't playin' the blues,' to which the friend replied something along the lines of 'Who gives a shit, RL, he's taking you on tour.' Damn right.

Gives you a different twist on the blues, RL seems to dig it. What's you people's problem? Besides, the money from the album gave him the biggest payday of his life, he widened his audience , and he had a helluva great time in the bargain. RL was open to doing anything with his music, he knew the originals weren't going anywhere - his grandkids were rappers and he recorded with them. Sad when a 70 yr old bluesman is willing to go for it and cuz it isn't what people expect, they have to hate it.

They rented a cabin, got loaded and had a great time. A bitchen album was just one result. Give up the hate, you ass-wads.

@theoriginaljeffro

John Spencer is proof "White man can jump".

[theoriginaljeffro]

@opiumrebel

And that white men can also have a good fucking time.

[solinjar]

white boy thinks he can sing the blues,xd

[hotchrislee]

@solinjar Yes. Yes he can.

[mojocrankspleen]

I agree.

[laabro43]

this sucks

[MrPsychonaut23]

jon spencer did not screw anything up! i saw them both on tour together and it was awesome!

[izzydunne]

Jon Spencer is over the top (as usual) and screws up a great song. The boy thinks he knows the blues, but he is mistaken.

[busessuck1]

@izzydunne yeah but, Mr Burnside's enjoying himself, and that's what counts at the end of the day

[oldfilikin]

@izzydunne yeah, he's mildly embarrassing to watch isn't he?

[kissybaby001]

And yes, it should be cop siren boogie!

[kissybaby001]

Influential . I love it!

[faunoram]

is this the recording session in the fat possum studio??

this video smokes!!!

[hisk01]

@faunoram

This was recorded in the Melkweg Amsterdam for VPRO's loladamusica tv-show. Later that night they gave a show there with RL opening for JSBX.

That was one awesome show somewhere in '96

[psychlyst]
