R. L. Burnside:

Was never one of my favorites.  North Mississippi style.  I always felt there were outside influences at work.   Nothing definite, just a feeling.  Probably from listening to too much Howlin' Wolf.

I did like his playing on the CD soundtrack to the movie DEEP BLUES.

Cheers

Rok, I've known others who don't care for the Hill Country sound.  Not sure what you mean about outside influences, but it's generally a harder-edged music than Delta.  I like it all.  RL's soulful singing and driving rhythm in "See my Jumper..." always grabs me.
