R.L. Burnside - 2000 - Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down

R.L. Burnside - 2000 - Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down @ 320

 

Like jazz, the blues has its share of late bloomers -- artists who didn't start recording or didn't become well-known until they were well into their 50s or 60s. R.L. Burnside is very much a late bloomer; the Mississippi bluesman was born in 1926, but it wasn't until the 1990s that he started to enjoy the publicity he deserved. Recorded in 2000, Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down finds the veteran singer continuing to be fairly unpredictable at 73. Essentially, this CD falls into the Mississippi blues category -- Burnside maintains the earthy, down-home rawness that people expect from Mississippi country-blues. But Burnside certainly isn't without urban influences, and this CD illustrates his appreciation of John Lee Hooker and early Muddy Waters as well as the Texas blues of Lightnin' Hopkins. Burnside has also been influenced by R&B; one of the few tracks that he didn't write or co-write is a cover of Aretha Franklin's 1960s smash "Chain of Fools." The producers (who include Andy Kaulkin, John Porter, and Brad Cook) try to make that track and others relevant to hip-hop by adding sampling and scratching -- and when they do, it sounds forced and unnatural. Some of the producing is simply too high-tech for an artist as raw as Burnside, but that doesn't make his vocals any less impressive. Despite its imperfections, Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down is a generally appealing document of Burnside at 73. (AllMusic)

Charlie Patton

 

Charley Patton (born 1891?, Hinds county, Mississippi, U.S.—died April 28, 1934, Indianola, Mississippi) was an American blues singer-guitarist who was among the earliest and most influential Mississippi blues performers.

Patton spent most of his life in the Delta region of northwestern Mississippi, and from about 1900 he was often based at Dockery’s plantation in Sunflower county. There he and other early blues performers, such as Tommy Johnson and Willie Brown, shared songs and ideas. Patton spent most of his career playing blues and ragtime-based popular songs for dancers at rural parties and barrelhouses, where his singing and clowning made him a popular entertainer.

In the nearly 70 recordings he made between 1929 and 1934, Patton sang in a gravelly, strained, sometimes unintelligible voice while providing himself with a changing, heavily percussive guitar accompaniment. His lyrics range from personal to topical. He also recorded some gospel songs. His best-known recording is “Pony Blues,” among the first of his to be issued, and others such as “Down the Dirt Road,” “Shake It and Break It,” “High Water Everywhere,” and “Moon Going Down” helped secure his popularity.

The aggressive intensity of Patton’s performances is particularly notable, a quality that influenced his successors such as Howlin’ Wolf (Chester Arthur Burnett), Son House, and Bukka White. Patton was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in its inaugural class (1980). (Britannica)
