R.L. Burnside

Double Decker Arts Festival

Oxford, MS

April 29th 2000

Remastered soundboard.

Well, well, well...

Hope I  have the song titles resonably correct.

RL sings and plays what he wants and the band follow.

Producer: What's that banging noise?

Sound engineer: er...he's tapping his foot.

Producer: Tell him to take his shoes off

Sound engineer: er...he ain't wearin' shoes

R.L. Burnside

Double Door

Chicago, Illinois

March 20th 1999

A reworked recording of a WXRT-FM broadcast.

Excellent gritty blues which sounds very fresh.

More of a 'rock' feel than a 'trad. blues' approach

incorporating, what sounds like, a random number of bars.

(I'm sure they know what they are doing...right?)

With RL's grandson. Cedric, on the drums

and "adopted son" Kenny Brown on guitar.
