 (7 Customer Reviews)
Along with labelmate Junior Kimbrough, Burnside can be credited with bringing back real, gutbucket blues to a public numbed by the Kenny Wayne Sheperds of the world. His raw, electric style fuses Chicago and Delta blues into an arresting, often hypnotic swirl. COME ON IN represents a summit between Burnside's traditionalism and the high-tech primitivism of the electronica generation. Essentially, it's Beck in reverse; instead of a post-modern electronics-tinged artists incorporating traditional blues influences, COME ON IN is a case of a hardcore bluesman allowing '90s technological advances to enter and even expand his musical world.
The simple, hard-hitting rhythms and hooky, repetitive guitar riffs that are the cornerstones of Burnside's style lend themselves quite naturally to the looping and sampling techniques that give COME ON IN it's eccentric, wild-card feel. Everything else in the pop world has been put through its remixing paces, why not blues? Ultimately, Burnsides vision is so singular and insistent, it dominates even the most loop-heavy tracks here, and the electronically altered structures of COME ON IN provide a fresh look at the tradition Burnside has been making his own for his whole life.

Come On In Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Brilliant
One of the most adventurous, forward thinking blues albums I've ever heard. For a genre of music that seems trapped by nostalgia, this is a breath of fresh air.

It's great you know
The harp on "It's Bad You Know" with the echo fade looping track and electronica sound in the drums gives a very fresh sound.

This is my first Burnside purchase and let me tell ya we have done some funky boogying around the pool table late at night. It goes perfect with juiced up friends. I like the roughness of the guitar, the beat and the heavy rock that comes out of 65% of the songs. The other 35% are so so but, still worth the purchase.

GrandDaddy of Delta Blues
Theres Blues & then theres Southern Delta Blues. R.L. is a Legend, just like Neil Young when Neil expermented with electric distortion & feedback. R.L. brings the blues to electric like no other blues greats that Ive heard. If you've listened to other blues & listen to R.L.'s style on some of his electric blues you will know what Im talking about here. This is truly a must have for any music collector. I give all of R.L.'s music a 10 out of 10. To YUK from Penn. who dont like it, you need to travel to the south & listen to & meet some of these blues unknowns. Im sure you would see that these are truly the greatest blues music you've heard. Just as Neil Young earned the name of the Grandfather of Grundge, R.L. is to some of us blues lovers the GrandDaddy of Delta Blues...!!!!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Cooler than cool
Listening to this should be a privilege, not a right-it is sooooo cool! I also have 'A Bothered Mind' and can't wait to get some more. A couple of the same tracks feature on both albums but very different versions and both outstanding.

Although some quality bands came out of the retro-swing trend of the '90s, many of them were amateurish, and by the end of the decade, retro-swing had pretty much dried up. But that doesn't mean that's the last of jump blues, only that a bunch of young bands aren't coming along and emulating the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, or the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Those who are in it for the long haul -- Dave Clark, for example -- are still plugging away. Born in 1955, the saxophonist/bandleader was playing jump blues long before the neo-swing trend took off and was still doing his thing after its popularity faded. Actually, Clark shouldn't be compared to the neo-swing artists of the '90s because what he does is undeniably different; while the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and similar artists played a blend of jump blues and early rock & roll (with a big dose of irony), Switchin' in the Kitchen has a more authentically '40s-like ...

Meet Swamp Boogie: singer-guitarist-lyricist Brian Ellison, slide guitarist Tino Arana, bassist Woody Thomsen, drummer Bob "Clem" Smith and accordionist/keyboardist Rhett Card. The two-and-a-half-year-old band, whose official bio consists of "It's just Swamp Boogie!," was formed by Arana and exists to sing about food and ... other stuff. "It all comes down to the fact," says Ellison, "some great American novelist said 'write what you know.'" We know about food and sex."And so it is that Swamp Boogie's debut disc is called Food and Sex (SwampBoogie.com). Of course, in the context of the band's bayou-inflected blues-singing slide guitar, joyous and dirty rhythms, carnival-esque accordion-and Ellison's ebullient, innuendo-laden vocals, food and sex seem pretty much the same thing. When, on "Cornbread," he intones "Nobody like cornbread half as much as I do," he might be singing about booty, for all his sauciness (if "ya-yas" translates, he is). Ditto when he pleads, to be fed ("Feed Me"), although it's less innuendo than straight metaphor: "I'm hungry ... yes I'm hungry ... I'm hungry the whole night through ... baby for you." And forget about it on "Dirty Rice": "I got a jalapeño in my pocket/I got a crawdad down my shirt/let's whip up some gumbo, baby, and make dirty rice in the dirt ... I'll sop up your gravy, baby, ooo-ooo-ooooooo!"That, there, is where singing about food becomes cool. It's no longer about a product; it's about our two most primal urges that, for many, rouse the same endorphins. Set to music, a pleasure in its own right, it's nirvana. "Food and sex," says Arana, ...

\"This one just might be my favorite....Cathy has outdone herself this time.\"(Ami Simms Newsletter, October 2006)The Singing Quilter branches out into reggae, bossa nova, rhumba and pop music in this 4th recording of songs about quilting. There are still lots of great true stories from the quilting world: a quilt that saved a life in Paducah, a quilt made of duck neck feathers 100 years ago, a husband learning about proper terminology, perfection and imperfection. Here\'s what Cathy says about the songs:One Pot of Soup:A true story from Arlene Greenwald about growing up in a quilting house, and a pot of soup that always lasted long enough to feed everyone until the quilt was finished.Why Don\'t You Have Plain White? A visit to the quilt shop, listing 47 different kinds of fabric that they have, but not the kind you wanted! I based this song on one by a friend: Shelley Posen, who has a whole CD of songs about Jewish food. His song is called \"How Come You Don\'t Have Tongue?\".Shop Hopping:Karen Ostheller from Washington State suggested this song, just as I was finishing up the writing. It became a reggae, and it is by far the happiest song I\'ve ever recorded!Duck Neck Quilt:John and I saw this quilt when we visited Skagway Alaska in February of 2006. It is the most unusual quilt I\'ve ever seen, made by Jenny Rasmuson, a Swedish missionary in the early 20th century. \"Absolutely one of the most amazing things I have ever seen: missionary cloth, peppercorns and all!\" (Pam Brees, Fremont, CA)How Do You Build a House?To answer the age-old comment: \"So, let me get this straight. You take a perfectly good piece of fabric, cut it up in little pieces, then sew it back together?!?!?\" I got to play the tools on this rhumba!Boots and Bayonets:The Burlington Teen Tour (marching) Band from Ontario Canada made squares for a quilt they took to celebrate the 60th anniversary of D-Day, using stories from their own family members who served in the war. The quilt was facilitated by Judy Lyons. One man arrived at Judy\'s door in full uniform and asked to have his picture taken in front of his block on the quilt.My Grandfather\'s Brother: At Christmas in 2005 I received a 100 year old quilt from my brother. It was made for and given to my father\'s uncle, who was a Presbyterian minister in Toronto. The quilt is Turkey Red and white, and features 844 embroidered names. He was a remarkable man.Done is Better ...
