{"title":"R.L. Burnside","description":"\u003cp\u003eFarming cotton, hauling fish from the Tallahatchie River and driving trucks paid the bills well into the 1980s, with music squeezed in at juke joints and house parties. Guitar came largely from his neighbour Mississippi Fred McDowell, while church singing and fife-and-drum picnics shaped his ear. With his family band, the Sound Machine, he mixed hill country blues with funk and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Mitchell first recorded him in 1967, and Fat Possum signed him in 1991, yet wider recognition waited until 1995, when touring with Jon Spencer's group won over punk and garage audiences. \u003cem\u003eA Ass Pocket of Whiskey\u003c\/em\u003e was cut alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer Tom Rothrock then reworked his tracks for techno and hip-hop listeners on \u003cem\u003eCome On In\u003c\/em\u003e, an experiment Burnside admitted growing to like.
