Another of my favorite Burnside cuts:

Such an overlooked album, full of brilliance. And social commentary that is just as relevant now as it was back then.

Norm is BY FAR THE FUNNIEST person that I'll ever lie and say that I've met.

This one song sent me down a Delta Blues hole a couple of years ago. He's amazing!

I have a pretty great collection of hundreds of old time Delta blues recordings remastered on CD from back in the day. I think I got some of that old Mississippi mud in my veins.

I think this Hump Day could use a little Junior Kimbrough. His third album, "Most Things Haven't Worked Out," in its entirety.

....and for those who are interested in Deep South juke joint blues, I'd recommend checking out the documentary "You See Me Laughin': The Last of the Hill Country Bluesmen." Available on YouTube.

imnsho, Junior Kimbrough never got the recognition he deserved. He should be up there with the best of the old timers. He has a mesmerizing sound.

(I've been fortunate enough to see some of the old guys like Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, B.B. King (a couple of times), back when. )

I think "Delta" 3V must've been spawned at the crossroads of HWY 61 and HWY 49 in Clarksdale, MS. Lord only knows what Nathan had to give up in exchange...


Sonny Boy Williamson (II), is one of my all-time faves.

If you haven't checked out the recent album 'Delta Kream' by the Black Keys, I'd recommend it. It's all Junior Kimbrough covers (like their earlier album 'Chulahoma'), and they brought in Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton for lead guitar and bass. It's quite well done, imo.
