Title: new blues, old soul
Product review: R.L. Burnside is the last best representative of what the blues truely are, "A reaffimation of life in the face of adversity". RL continues his history of making music to lift spirits and make you want to dance. Even though the tone of this album is darker than his prevuious albums he brings some relief with his tracks, Miss Maybelle, Too Many Ups, and Nothin' Man. He also proves his ability by , not only remaking "Chain of Fools" but dramatically improving it. He lets us into his own soul with his heartfelt singing. Hard Time Killing Floor and RL's Story shed light on this artists troubled past and gives more depth to work by letting us see his past that made him a blues man. Some hard core fundamentalist may not like the modern style of this album, but I'm sure RL would remind them that Blues is just supoosed to be dance music. RL is by far the best living blues man performing today and this cd only proves it.
