“As the keeper of the flame of hill country blues, Burnside’s earned it, and then some.” Uncut 8/10 – Album of the Month

“While his mentor and grandfather RL’s original form was violent and nihilistic, Burnside’s is just as fierce; sometimes wandering, sometimes stomping rhythms are buoyed by positive energy and hope for change.” MOJO 4/5

This week marks the eagerly anticipated release of ‘Hill Country Love,’ the latest album from GRAMMY Award-winning artist Cedric Burnside, via Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group. This collection not only solidifies Burnside’s position in the contemporary blues scene but also serves as a deeply personal narrative, weaving together the threads of his rich family legacy and the distinctive sounds of Hill Country Blues. Born from the soulful depths of Northern Mississippi, ‘Hill Country Love’ embodies the raw, rhythmic essence that defines the genre, offering listeners a journey through the heart of blues music.

The album’s latest single “Juke Joint” brings to life the vibrant spirit of the local nightlife establishments fundamental to Burnside’s musical and personal development. Accompanied by a video featuring Burnside performing the track, “Juke Joint” pays homage to these essential gathering places of the Hill Country community. “The juke joint was more than just a venue to me,” Burnside reflects. “It was where I learned about life and music. It was my sanctuary from a young age, shaping who I am as an artist today.”

‘Hill Country Love’ represents a pivotal moment in Burnside’s career, blending his storied heritage with innovative musical exploration. Recorded in an old building in Ripley, Mississippi, that Burnside had once envisioned as a juke joint, the album captures the authentic vibe and spontaneous energy that are hallmarks of his sound. Working alongside producer Luther Dickinson, Burnside has crafted a collection of songs that resonate with authenticity and passion, pushing the boundaries of the Hill Country Blues genre while honoring its roots.

Burnside is gearing up to take ‘Hill Country Love’ on the road with an expansive tour across the United States, Canada and Europe. From intimate venues like The Burl in Lexington, KY, to larger stages such as the Chesterfield Amphitheater in MO, Burnside’s tour promises a dynamic showcase of Hill Country Blues. This tour not only celebrates the release of ‘Hill Country Love’ but also Cedric Burnside’s enduring connection to his roots and his evolution as a leading voice in contemporary blues.
