Back to the Delta

by Jimmy Burns

Overview

Modern blues fans shouldn't be turned off by the title of Jimmy Burns' third Delmark release, Back to the Delta. The electric guitar slung over Burns' back on the cover should be a definite tip-off that this is not a recreation of authentic Delta blues. Burns, who is from the Delta, took his inspiration for this session from blues guitar forefathers of the territory, alongside modern pioneers Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and John Lee Hooker. These 16 tracks, the majority of which are Burns' originals, blend Chicago blues, R&B, and soul with the Delta feel. ~ Al Campbell
