Hill Country Blues 1986

简   介

R.L. Burnside出生在密西西比州拉法耶特县的农村。他一生大部分时间都在做佃农和渔夫。在听到John Lee Hooker的演奏以后，他对吉他产生了兴趣。他向邻近的Fred McDowell学习音乐，也受到远亲Muddy Waters的影响。

1992年Burnside在Fat Possum唱片公司发行了第一张专辑，由此在1990年声名远扬。他的嗓音强大而富有表现力，既演奏电吉他也演奏原声吉他。嗡嗡作响的蜂鸣声更接近密西西比山村布鲁斯，而不是三角洲布鲁斯。他把自己的音乐称为“Burnside style”，经常提议伴奏乐手事先要熟悉自己的风格，以便跟上节奏。

Burnside的音乐具有一种粗犷不羁的能量，同时吸引着当代摇滚音乐人和歌迷。

Brief introduction

R.L. Burnside was born in the rural part of Lafayette County, Mississippi. He spent most of his life working as a sharecropper and fisherman. He was first inspired to play guitar after hearing John Lee Hooker play. He learned music from neighbor Mississippi Fred McDowell, and was also influenced by his cousin-in-law, Muddy Waters.

In 1992, Burnside released his first album on Fat Possum Records, then became widely known in the 1990s. He had a powerful, expressive voice and played both electric and acoustic guitars. His drone-based style was a characteristic of North Mississippi hill country blues rather than Mississippi Delta blues. He called his music “Burnside style” and often commented that his backing musicians needed to be familiar with his style in order to be able to play along with him.

Burnside's music had a rough, obstinate energy that also appealed to contemporary rock musicians and fans.
