Kent Burnside Hill Country Blood (CD)

With Hill Country Blood, Kent Burnside presents a captivating debut that is deeply rooted in the blues—yet powerfully points to the future. As the grandson of Hill Country legend R.L. Burnside, Kent not only carries on his family's musical legacy, but also continues it with courage and independence.
The album includes eight powerful original compositions as well as passionately interpreted cover versions of John Lee Hooker's “Crawling King Snake” and Junior Kimbrough's “You Better Run” – two tributes to the giants on whose shoulders Kent stands.
Hill Country Blood is more than just an album – it is a passionate manifesto from an artist who carries on his family's blues legacy with fire, respect, and a clear vision. Authentic, raw, and full of energy, this album is a bloodline that flows through generations – and never loses its power.
