Event Details
The official credit tells it like it is. Recorded in an old building in Ripley, Mississippi thats all the info we get, and all that we need.When CEDRIC BURNSIDE prepared to record Hill Country Love, the follow-up to his 2021 Grammy-winning album I Be Trying, he set up shop in a former legal office located in a row of structures in the seat of Tippah County, a town with 5,000 residents thats known as the birthplace of the Hill Country Blues style.That building was actually going to be my juke joint. Everything was made out of wood, which made the sound resonate like a big wooden box, said Burnside. He called up producer Luther Dickinson (co-founder of the acclaimed North Mississippi Allstars and the son of legendary Memphis producer/musician Jim Dickinson), who brought recording equipment into the empty space. We recorded in the middle of a bunch of rubbish wood everywhere and garbage cans, Burnside says. We just laid everything out the way and recorded the album right there.
