Title - Acoustic Burnside [Splatter Vinyl]
Artist - Duwayne Burnside

Acoustic Burnside (due out on September 23rd, 2022 via Dolceola Recordings) is the first album in 17 years by the legendary hill country bluesman Duwayne Burnside, ex-member of North Mississippi Allstars and son of the late R.L. Burnside.

Recorded in his hometown Holly Springs Mississippi, this album captures raw and vivid aspects of his solo acoustic playing by analog field recording, and features a number of masterpieces written by his father such as See My Jumper Hanging on the Line and Going Down South, Junior Kimbrough’s classics like Meet Me in the City and Lord Have Mercy, as well as his own pieces.

Side A:
1. Going Down South
2. See My Jumper Hanging on the Line
3. Poor Black Mattie
4. She Threw My Clothes Out
5. Alice Mae
6. Dust My Broom

This quite stunningly opulent, earthy and wholly heartfelt new album opens on the foot-tapping beauty Going Down South and the jagged, raw blues of See My Jumper Hanging on the Line and follows those up seamlessly with the jaunty blues-rock, complete with background noise of Poor Black Mattie (the anthem of the Magnolia State’s hill country blues), the aching yearn within She Threw My Clothes Out and then comes the false-started, yet impassioned, R.L.’s ode to his wife, Alice Mae and the infectious Robert Johnson foot tapper Dust My Broom.

Side B:
7. Meet Me in the City
8. Stay All Night
9. She Threw My Clothes Out (Alt. Take)
10. 44 Pistol
11. Bad Bad Pain
12. Lord Have Mercy on Me

The second side opens on the quieter fare of Meet Me in the City which is itself backed lovingly by the rhythmically upbeat, and smoother vocals of Stay All Night, and then comes the an alternate take of She Threw My Clothes Out, the album rounding out on his guitar picking genius showcased on 44 Pistol, the free flowing Bad Bad Pain, coming to a righteous close on a folk-funk reworking of Junior Kimbrough’s atmospheric Lord Have Mercy on Me.

I learned most of the songs on this record from my daddy, Duwayne says. When I play them, I’m doing my best to show respect and love for him and the music. When I play on acoustic guitar, especially, it goes back even further, because this music started without electricity.

I think about all the musicians who came up from the early says, out of the Delta and the hills, and took their music to the big cities and all around the world. It makes me feel like I’m part of all that history.

Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Duwayne Burnside is one of 14 children born to legendary North Mississippi musician R.L. Burnside and his wife, Alice.

He has been a frequent performer with the North Mississippi Allstars since the early 1990s, when that group, fronted by Luther and Cody Dickinson, formed.
