“Her delivery is soulful enough to surely cause some nonbelievers to want to get right with God.” San Francisco Chronicle

On June 10 we'll be releasing R.L. Burnside's Acoustic Stories (MC-0061) on 180-gram vinyl.
This collection of stripped-down blues of the bare-handed variety remains one of our most popular releases. It was recorded in 1988 at the height of R.L.'s powers. These all-acoustic tunes were recorded in one or two takes live in the studio, with that immediacy and boldness, to give it an authenticity to the listening experience not often found these days. These are the real tangled roots, off rhythms and winding sung and spoken stories of the Delta played by a master.

A never-before-released song will be included in this collection.

Acoustic Stories is a W.C. Handy award nominee.
“One of his best.” ~ Guitar Player Magazine
