Burnside&#8217;s music, but I always associate him with the 1996 album <em>Now I Got Worry<\/em> by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, I guess because of the song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SfDZT1ywaCA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">R.L. Got Soul<\/a>&#8220;, which come to think of it, I have no idea whether it&#8217;s about the same R.L. or not.\u00a0 It seems likely, and I might even have read something along those lines in a popular music magazine of the time (choose your pick which one).\u00a0 Anyway, I love R.L. Burnside&#8217;s guitar playing and I love R.L. Burnside&#8217;s singing, and I love this film of R.L. Burnside playing and singing. This is probably my favorite of his songs. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatpossum.com\/artists\/r-l-burnside-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fat Possum Records<\/a> has a few different collections of R.L. Burnside recordings, and I can recommend them for sure.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"DouglasCowie\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Song%20of%20the%20Week%3A%20%22See%20My%20Jumper%20Hanging%20on%20the%20Line%22%20by%20R.L.%20Burnside\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each Friday I pick a song\u2013new, old, borrowed, blue\u2013that\u2019s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.
