Hill Country Blood

Description

'Hill Country Blood' is the electrifying first commercial album by Kent Burnside, who carries on the legacy of his grandfather, R.L. Burnside, while forging a distinct voice in the world of blues. Kent infuses his music with an intense dose of blues-rock energy and boldly reinvents the genre by blending the deep, hypnotic rhythms of Hill Country Blues with the raw energy of blues-rock, the soulful spirit of the Delta, and the urban verve of Chicago. The album includes eight original tracks as well as powerful covers of John Lee Hooker's Crawling King Snake and Junior Kimbrough's You Better Run. With Kent on guitar and vocals, Garry Burnside on bass, Jake Best on drums, and Damian Pearson (aka Yella P of Memphisissippi) adding his soulful harmonica, Hill Country Blood is an energetic and deeply authentic blues experience that pays homage to the past while looking toward the future.
