Introducing ‘Hill Country Love,’ the eagerly awaited new album from Cedric Burnside, GRAMMY Award-winning artist signed to Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group. This album is more than a milestone in Burnside’s career; it’s a deeply personal journey into the heart of Hill Country Blues, weaving his family’s legacy with the raw essence of Northern Mississippi’s soulful rhythms.
In his latest single, “Juke Joint,” Burnside captures the spirit of the local nightlife that shaped his music and life. Reflecting on its significance, Burnside shares, “The juke joint was my sanctuary, where life and music intertwined to shape me as an artist.” The accompanying video vividly brings to life this homage to the vibrant community spaces pivotal to Burnside’s development.
Recorded in a historic building in Ripley, Mississippi—an imagined juke joint—’Hill Country Love’ authentically captures Burnside’s spontaneous energy. Teaming up with producer Luther Dickinson, Burnside delivers a collection of songs that push the boundaries of Hill Country Blues while honoring its roots.
As Burnside gears up for an extensive tour across the United States, Canada, and Europe, fans can expect a dynamic showcase of Hill Country Blues. From intimate venues like The Burl in Lexington, KY, to larger stages such as the Chesterfield Amphitheater in MO, this tour celebrates Burnside’s deep roots and evolution as a leading voice in contemporary blues.
