RIP, RL

Posted on Thursday 1 September 2005

Last night’s blues episode is dedicated to the memory of R.L. Burnside, who passed away this morning. R.L. was one of the last few old school bluesmen who could still tear the house down. I saw him first at college about ten years ago when he played to a very small crowd with T-Model Ford. Burnside’s albums are great, many of them among of the best blues records released in the last 15 years.

RIP, R.L. and thanks for sharing some of your fire with us.
