RL Burnside - Shake 'Em On Down

[TheJack20110]

RL is a very nice person! John Schooley do the shit on top of him, unbearable for me, sad

[Burleism]

This is just fucking STRONG........... That's about all you can say about it.

Met Cedric at Sydney airport yesterday, here in Australia with his duo Lightin' & Burnside what a nice guy he is. It was great to talk to him about his grandfather. He says that he still misses him even though its been 5 years since his death.

RL Burnside is such a great bluesman. However, in this video, John Schooley tries to overpower him, and just gets in the way. Schooley has none of the subtlety and elegance of Kenny Brown's slide guitar playing.

R.L. Burnside should get mentioned with the likes of John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf & definitely B.B. King!

[Diatton]

He is great, he is everything in Blues! I do love this Mississippi diamond!

[faunoram]

great!!!!

prefiero cuando kenny the farmer le acompaña

porque casi ni se lo siente y sin embargo le da cuerpo al sonido del sr burnside, en cambio el chabón que le acompaña en este video medio que jode la cosa !!

great man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[clockworkmike83]

That's some badass shit! Im a heavy metal fan to the bone, but I love the old classic rock too, so that means automatically I like the blues too. But I don't care much for the mainstreamers like BB King, whos great by the way, but I like going back to the purest forms if Im gonna listen to the blues, like Muddy Waters,T-Model Ford, Tommy Johnson, Robert Johnson, Junior Kimbrough, and of course RL Burnside who was absolutely the man! This is the true Mississippi Delta GRIT

[bluesemile]

if you like this, check T-model ford. A bit the same.

I got the Cd "bad man" and it's really good.

[TaTaTaTaTodayJr]

Hell yeah! Right on!

R.L. Burnside is a blues Hero ;) Cool and groovy slide guitar !! Keep the blues alive :) !

Many old time country tunes are modal, and when you play them, or even listen to them, they can put you into a trance. At least they tend to work for me. Lots of jazz is modal, too.

Well, listen to R.L. above. He played some of the best modal-type blues around. I was fortunate to see him play live, and let me tell you, the chord changes and the groove (not easy drumming, by the way!) can send you into the outer limits. Great, great stuff.

@ottlakerambler /what does modal mean?/wynn

[ottlakerambler]

@teleevangelist Too hard to describe here -- it's a question of music theory. But anyway, modal tunes often sound like they have a hypnotic quality to them.

[TexasMist]

@teleevangelist

Look up open tuning, Spanish tuning,.....

[ade2064]

@teleevangelist a mode is just a scale, ie the major scale, but you start from a different note, so it becomes a mode.

[CarrollGazette]

@ottlakerambler: True, and people from R.L.'s area refer to it as, "North Mississippi Hill Country Blues" or "Hill Country Blues". This is excellent. I just seen Cedric Burnside at the 2011 Juke Joint Fest in Clarksdale, Miss..

@ottlakerambler

...I think I know what you are talking about here. I noticed from the feginning that RL had a sound like no one else before. His chord patterns seemed to have the strangest sounds to them, and his rhythm for his songs always sounded different, it was just RL's groove, on how the bleus would sing to him, in his head I think.

[robkneff]

I gave R.L. the baseball cap he is wearing in this video. He gave me one of his. I had it made at a mall in Tempe,AZ. I gave it to him at a bar in Royal Oak, MI.

[Stepherner]

COME ON!!!

;)

Lucky guy...

Greets from Germany

[fuxgood]

I met him at a blues festival in Annapolis,Md. and he was very gracious and more than willing to talk to me. Talked to him about the blues for a good 30 minutes. Very nice man. Also met his son, DuWayne after a gig in Lancaster, Pa. He was with North Miss. Allstars at the time. Also a very nice guy. Drank beers, talked to him for over an hour after the show.

[SantaAnaRoadWildman]

@robkneff that is AWESOME! i wish I could have met him!
