Burnside, R.l.
Sound Machine Groove
Recorded by folklorist David Evans in 1979 and 1980, these are Burnside's first recordings with electric guitar and also
his first with a band. That band was the Sound Machine, a band he literally created himself out of members of his own
family, blending raw Mississippi blues with soul, funk, R&B, contemporary beats and other urban flavors to make a
marvelous amalgam of his own. Especially notable is a version of "Sitting on Top of the World" with Burnside on slide
guitar that, with Jackson's help, neatly evokes the sound and feel of a fife and drum band. Although Burnside became the
darling of the blues crowd and hailed as something of an overnight success, one listen to this disc tells you he was
already forging a new chapter in the Mississippi blues tradition with these recordings. Well, well, well.
