RIP RL Burnside - RIP the Blues? More sad news following the uncertain fate of Fats Domino - latter-day blues-great RL Burnside has died at 78.
I must play his excellent album, 'I Wish I Was in Heaven Sittin' Down'. In my relatively inexpert opinion, I cannot think of any other convincing living blues artist. They're either fakes or past their prime. And I'm talkin' blues, not blues-rock here. RL was the real deal. Though he recorded mostly late in his life, his best work ranks high in the blues pantheon imo. Topic for discussion - is the blues dead or has it just gone deep underground (no pun intended)? And if anyone says hip-hop is the new blues, I'll set the Wolf on ya ... | |

RL's shit was RAW! "Ass Pocket Of Whiskey" is a blues classic! | |

Don't nobody wanna talk about the future (or lack of) for the blues? 
Without the blues, no jazz, rock, funk, and so on. So, no blues, no future ... | |
