blues

the other vesions is out of the phase , this one is in phase give better bass,

out of phase seems that the sound comes from the outside of your speaker boxen,

the sound comes then not from the middle of loudspeakers , and that is not well, now is it good in phase ,

and the sound comes now out the middle of loudspeakers

that was wrong with the sound , but I not know what, but I find it the mic was out of phase,

and that comes , in mic is system a (mid side)system , and that was not well , but I turn the phase 180 degrees ,

so is it now good , sorry this , I self each time ago , think what is wrong , but I find it what was wrong the phase was not good.

Burnside was born in Harmontown, Mississippi,

in Lafayette County. Burnside spent most of his life in the rural hill country of northern Mississippi,

working as a sharecropper and a commercial fisherman, as well as playing guitar at weekend house parties.

He was first inspired to pick up the guitar in his early twenties, after hearing the 1948 John Lee Hooker single,

"Boogie Chillen" (which inspired numerous other rural bluesmen, among them Buddy Guy,

to start playing). He learned music largely from Mississippi Fred McDowell,

who lived nearby in an adjoining county. He also cited his cousin-in-law, Muddy Waters, as an influence.

During the 1950s, Burnside grew tired of sharecropping and moved to Chicago,

Illinois in the hopes of finding better economic opportunities.

But things did not turn out as he had hoped. Within the span of one month his father, brother,

and uncle were all murdered in the city, a tragedy that Burnside would later draw upon in his work,

particularly in his interpretation of Skip James's "Hard Time Killing Floor" and the talking blues "R.L.'s Story,"

]the opening and closing tracks on Burnside's 2000 album, Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down.

Around 1959, he left Chicago and went back to Mississippi to work the farms and raise a family.
