R.L. Burnside - No Monkeys on this Train - 'Heritage Of The Blues' (2003)

R.L. Burnside is one of the greatest blues artists of our time. R.L. has been performing since the 1950s, although he didn't garner much recognition until recording for Fat Possum Records in the 1990's. Along with his label mate Junior Kimbrough, R.L. has produced some of the most unique and passionate blues out there.
9/2/2005: I'm very sad to report the news that R.L. Burnside has died at the age of 78. He will be greatly missed.

R.L. Burnside's 'Heritage Of The Blues' contains a mixture of tracks from his Sound Machine days,
(Sound Machine was a contemporary blues group he had with his sons in the '80s),
as well as some live tracks from the Rhythm Room in Phoenix. Included is a very fine version of Little Walter's 'Last Night', Burnside standards 'Jumper On The Line' and 'Bad Luck Blues' and a swag of rarely heard numbers. Interspersed between tracks are spoken-word examples of Burnside?s great sense of humour.
