R.L. BURNSIDE - A Bothered Mind LP

Salty old-timer, Burnside takes the well loved but tired format of purist blues and through some savvy (rapper - Lyrics born) and not so savvy (wanker - Kid Rock) collaborations put an exciting and thoroughly modern slant on the genre. Burnside lays down his own old school blues motifs, with all the well known guitar and vocal phrasings one would expect of traditional blues and weaves it with threads of infectious, almost Hip Hop like beats, samples and strangely quirky lyrics (..that lazy motherfucker stole my check...) to produce something truly unique.
