Robert Lee Burnside

R.L. Burnside from The Land Where the Blues Began (1978).

I first heard Burnside, along with Joe Callicott and Houston Stackhouse on volume 2 of the Arhoolie Mississippi Delta Blues "Blow My Blues Away" compilation.  The two volumes collect recordings made by George Mitchell in 1967 & 1968.  Highly recommended!  Burnside's wiki is an interesting read and offers some excellent links to interviews and tribute sites.
