For those unaware, Provogue Records is proud to announce the latest studio album from Grammy-Award Winning Bluesman, Cedric Burnside, entitled Hill Country Love.

To Cedric Burnside, Hill Country Love is a culmination of a career that’s already seen astonishing accomplishments and only keeps growing. When Cedric Burnside prepared to record Hill Country Love, the follow-up to his 2021 Grammy-winning album I Be Trying, he set up shop in a former legal office located in a row of structures in the seat of Tippah County, a town with 5,000 residents that’s known as the birthplace of the Hill Country Blues style.

The fourteen songs on the record were finished in two days, but in addition to being satisfied with the sound, Burnside believes that his eleventh album represents real creative progress.

1. I Know
2. Hill Country Love
3. Shake Em On Down
4. Juke Joint
5. Smile
6. Closer
7. Coming Real To Ya
8. Thank You
9. Love You Music
10. Toll On They Life
11. You Got To Move
12. Strong
13. Funky
14. Po Black Mattie

This brilliantly sculpted new blues album opens on the rhythmically-grooved, harmonica-driven beauty I Know and the low slung, titular Hill Country Love and then brings us the lighter, more acoustic fare of Shake Em On Down, the funky Juke Joint, the plucked magnificence within Smile, and then come both the impassioned Closer and the embodied Coming Real To Ya.

Along next is the strident Thank You and the drum-led Love You Music and they are in turn backed seamlessly by the forthright Toll On They Life, an aching yearn found within You Got To Move, the vocally-driven Strong, the album closing on the aptly-named Funky and the groovy blues of Po Black Mattie.
