R.L. Burnside played the harmonica and dabbled with playing guitar at the age of 16 learned mostly from Mississippi Fred McDowell. He credited singing at church and fife-and-drum picnics as influences in his music, along with Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, and John Lee Hooker as influences later on in life. R.L. had a powerful, expressive voice, that did not fail with old age but rather grew richer, and he played both electric and acoustic guitar, with and without a slide. He was the grandfather to Cedric Burnside.
R.L. Burnside died September 1, 2005 in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 78.

Stanley Jordan’s Stanley Plays the Dead to debut April 4 in Washington, D.C.
- “The Dead’s repertoire is an important part of the Great American Songbook,” finger-tapping guitarist says
Stanley Jordan has formed a new band to play Grateful Dead music in a new way.
Stanley Plays the Dead will debut April 4-5 in Washington, D.C., playing two shows each night.
“The Dead’s repertoire is an important part of the Great American Songbook; over time people are realizing this more and more,” Jordan, who has frequently played with Phil Lesh & Friends, said.
“One mark of a good song is that it can be reinterpreted in many ways and it still holds up. These songs definitely fit that description.”
The band also includes drummer Kenwood Dennard (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), bassist Greg Koerner and Jesse Hiatt (Cedric Burnside) on keyboards and guitar.
“We’re expanding the harmonic structure and adding more jazz elements, while preserving the original feel and flavor of the music,” Jordan said of the quartet.
