RIP R.L. Burnside

[lonote049]

R.L. Burnside passed away yesterday at the age of 78 in Memphis.

There's also good news: Fats Domino and his family, Alan Toussaint and Gatemouth Brown are all safe. Toussaint was one of the thousands in the dome.

Thats a bummer. R.L. was very cool. RIP.

I was yesterday at a Gov't mule show in Antwerp and they played a 15 minute tribute to RL Burnside.

R.L. BURNSIDE was one of my favorites . i blew off a foo fighter/eddie vedder gig back in '95 to caught RL open for the jonspencer bluesexplosion. then in '99, RL played a free gig at the Reno Hilton Garage and it was an awesome performance. it's straight down the line juke-joint blues. i have a excellent recording of that gig.

Love the cd with the yellow cab...'come inside'

another blues legend departs t he pattern...
