A personal favorite of RL Burnside’s electric blues output, no small thanks to the life-affirming ruckus kicked up by drummer Calvin Jackson, who delivers some of the most suspenseful drumrolls this side of ESG.  A landmark Robert Palmer production for Fat Possum, recorded in April 1993.

Four of the very greatest hits from RL Burnside’s incredible first recordings: “Just Like a Bird Without a Feather,” “Skinny Woman,” “Goin’ Down South,” and “Poor Black Mattie”.
