42201?R.L. Burnside

announced by Devil Down Records for "early 2011" release:
"Never before distributed recordings, sets, and stories--including material from the first tour of RL, Cedric Burnside, Kenny Brown, and Luther Dickinson. On these tapes you can hear RL with the band in their best rockin-electric form, even tighter and more energetic than as heard on previous live releases of his, and with even more stories..."
