RL Burnside - Goin' Down South

* Originally released 20th August 2012 *

'Electric Mud' and 'The Howlin' Wolf Album' are pretty much perfect to me. I could happily sit and listen to both on rotation for longer than would be considered regular or healthy. I have done just that on many occasions, in fact.

So with this in mind, my instinct to dissect and forensically examine the music I truly love was too hard to resist and ultimately, this led to what you have here. These are two albums that to me, if I may put them in a modern perspective, bang relentlessly and thoroughly in every way and I love them so hard. It felt like it would be too easy to just snatch straight up loops from them (although that would sound wonderful of course), and I had the thought of making some re-edits in some way or another, but I decided on reconstructing them both and blending them together in that way.

This is produced from well over 750 chops of both albums combined.

If you haven't yet heard 'Electric Mud' by Muddy Waters, or 'The Howlin' Wolf Album', I cannot recommend them highly enough. Try and find them on vinyl if you can- trust me. If not, get yourself the CDs. If you are already familiar with both albums, I hope you enjoy what I've created from them.

Every chop made with care and respect.

Every step programmed with love.

Please spread this around if you enjoy (with a link to this page), I would really appreciate that.

You're the best. Thank you.

Going back all the way to 1998!This Bong Load Records release became quietly historic.Tom Rothrock's collaboration with underground blues legend, RL Burnside was a forward envisioning of the blues and dance that would begin to reverberate permanent change in american roots music.This ep set RL and Tom on the beginning of a rapid, life changing, path of exclusive gigs to early exposure on the Sopranos TV series.Not to be missed by the then underground artist, Moby, who was beginning to write his 1999 album, "Play".Tom's work can also be heard on the mixes of Moby's "Run-On", "Southside" (feat. Gwen Stefani) and "Natural Blues". - BONG LOAD RECORDS
