'Goin' Down South' R L Burnside

[coop0899]

The definition of rock n roll. If he were still alive I'd love to buy RL a drink. Absolutely Amazing!

[smashley842010]

I really Love his Voice , it is so rustic sounding , just amazing

[mariaperiwinkle]

I had to replay this one.

[teleevangelist]

i'm back for me some mo rl.../wynn ^5

[hatemmegki]

pulsating, raw, doubtless..the root of blues.

[Brucev7]

Good number. Peace. 

[ClassicRockfan79]

ive said before. If R.L was still alive, and if i met him, the first thing i would do would be neal down at his feet and beg for the honor of speaking with him...

[Brinah]

THIS is why I love blues so much!

[riegeorgia2]

i will grow up one day

[nathanoman1]

[nathanoman1]

[Khultan]

Aw, c'mon. 3 dislikes?!?

[nathanoman1]

ripossum

[dukedemonic]

Damn this guy is good! Why have I only just discovered this? Thanks heaps!

[BigCM06]

this man had more fuckin' SOUL than you'll find in 100,000 hours worth of the kind of shit they play on the radio today.

[TheWeberlow]

grooooove. r.i.p.

[clifftorres]

3 people dislike. They can go suck a dick and 2 nuts.

[p11dlpar]

LOVE this groove..

[ErikOosterwal]

How do I give this more than one 'thumbs up'?

[platter1000]

@ErikOosterwal oh thats an easy no brainer....2 thumbs up

[thefuzzgroove]

great song !

[theBigNoseAttack]

he must be an alien!there's no other way to right this song...

[arumrunner]

Can ya FEEL IT, well can ya?

[honeyb722]

rl was rediscovered by a man named john nerumberg in the 70s...john was instrumental in getting rl back in the scene and was his harp player for quite some time

[honeyb722]

rl was a personal friend and frequent house guest...we jammed...told stories...drank whiskey straight from the bottle (always by his feet) was great man and musician !! love you rl

[livingxdisaster]

@honeyb722 can i email you sometime and pick your brain? i'm currently working on a piece regarding burnside's music and i would love to interview and cite you, if at all possible. thank you!!

[fuxgood]

@honeyb722 How fortunate you are to have known him. I met him once at a blues fest and he was a super nice person. I also met his son DuWayne, equally as cordial. In fact we drank beers and talked for a good hour after a North Miss. concert in Lancaster,pa.

[platter1000]

@fuxgood i have to ask...did he sign anything for you?

[fuxgood]

@platter1000 He would have had I asked which I didn't. :>(

[Suspiciousbaglady]

3 people got a screw loose....

[platter1000]

@Suspiciousbaglady better make that 4

[Suspiciousbaglady]

@platter1000 ...one dislike every two months... it's an epidemic of no taste...

[GasFoodLodger]

Cheers dude.....hot damn! ;-)

[rjanis123]

look whatever you're doing.. stop.. listen.. feel.. ya' feel that chill up your spine.. that's the power of blues

and don't anybody say some stupid shit about "they don't make music like this anymore" ... R.L. was active until he passed in 2005 there was only ever one R.L. Burnside .. R.I.P

[sgtdarkness1]

No, the two dislikes don't know shit, cause evidently they been eating it while listening to music that ain't music........peace to all the "likes".  Sarge.

[kanye3215]

was a big rap fan but after a few downers in my life i started listening to rl burnside nd other blues musicians wat im gettin at is blues helped me its wat kept me from offing my self now i listen to blues a whole lot! i still listen to hip hop tho. but thank you ray charles rl burnside and robert johnson god rest your souls you really helped me in life thank you R.I.P.

[jumperontheline]

@kanye3215 Blues has kept me alive too. It really helps me to hear someone singing the pain I'm feeling. Have you listened to Mississippi Fred McDowell ? ( The guy who RL learnt guitar from.) There is a very powerful tune by him called Someday Baby which stopped me crying when I was totally fucked. If you go to my channel it's the first track on playlist Hill Country Gets Loud. Highly recommended. I hope you're feeling better now. Take care, Kassy.

[cardinalfire999]

Ass of Whiskey version is so much better.

[HollerboyHellbilly]

Phenomenal!!!

[heyiamgary]

goin



[rwonfor]

what album is this off of?

[Costign]

@rwonfor

This is on the album put out by Fat Possum records 'Not the same old blues crap: Volume 2'

There's three volumes. All pretty cool stuff.

[sambobla]

@rwonfor check my channel, much all the rest of his songs are there ;) and 1500 other blues songs too!

[VTECheart]

@rwonfor

originally from Too Bad Jim

[19Murre91]

@rwonfor My black name A-ringin' is the name of the album.

[dderekk14]

@rwonfor burnside on burnside (at least that's what fat possum records pronounces)

[ucfbolw]

The one person who disliked is heading up north

[jteshuwah]

it don't get any better than this! Real deal!

[platter1000]

other than satisfaction from the stones it doesn't get any better than this.  god bless this man

[fuxgood]

When was the pic of RL taken? had to be not long before he left us. And who took it?

[MrSixstringjohnny]

am pretty sure jon spencer played on this....

[XrayBluesman]

@MrSixstringjohnny This is not the take with Jon Spencer. Same song but what you are thinking of is from the album Ass pocket of whiskey. That is a screaming caotic energyfull record. My favorit all times.

[Django5198]

@XrayBluesman That album is kinda punk like. I call it Mississipi punk. Amazing overdriven blues album

[oldfilikin]

this week i must've listened to this song a million times in the car. those guitar lines give me goose pimples all over & rl's voice is just brilliant, something else man something else!

[6t4eldo]

@oldfilikin listen to some jr. kimbrough...same feeling!!!!

[TheBluesmanMudcat]

Blues Master R.L. Burnside lives here....

[nanalyce58]

someone who knows this music would you talk about this version of theis song? I can;t believe what I;m hearing, it;s primal earthy, god's heart beat.I'm flat freakin' in awe

[nanalyce58]

/the Man, absolutlely the MAN

[platter1000]

this song is unbelievable. i am 48 years old and con't believe i haden't heard it until just 3 weeks ago

[fuxgood]

@platter1000 I'm 53 and been rockin' RL for years. North Miss. hill country...best blues ever came from that area.

For the record...met RL and his son DuWayne...both fine people. RIP RL. We still love ya...

[platter1000]

@fuxgood i am 48 from ny and this guy was the shit big time. long live burnside

[lostsoul1624]

[bassbob42]

Great song

[luckyshame420]

W-O-R-

[Gageisrasta]

his newer stuff is good too but i love his earlier, simpler songs

[TweetyAliceHippies]

Dig it, love it, adore! Thank you very much

Tweety

[isanmick]

my favourite blues player, hes the coolest and was way ahead of his time

[p1nkfl0yd]

@isanmick On the off-chance you haven't heard about him, Junior Kimbrough was just as good, if not better.

[JTerrible63]

SUBLIMITY

[bertjack1982]

hipnotic and amazing!!

[adamite453]

Burnside Style!

[BloodsLament]

My fave Burnside track... love it. RL is the reason i play guitar.

[TeamBergsteiger]

way better than all these rip-offs

[jefevadc]

So powerful, so beautiful. Thank you. R.I.P. RL.
