5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is amazing!
What a great collection! Super raw! I've seen Burnside live many times and this CD captures his personality and music in a nutshell -- unlike anything out there. Burnside is powerful with his group, but "Staggolee" shows just how frightening he can be on his own. Filled with classics: Boogie Chillen, How Many More Years, Mojo Hand, and even My Babe, which I...

1.0 out of 5 stars A patched together piece of junk not worthy of R.L.'s name.
Wow - Give a real bluesman some success, like R.L. Burnside, and suddenly every slimebucket with a dusty old bootleg of the man will come crawling out from under their rock to cash in on the man.

This record is ...not worth half the price. Sure, it's R.L. and his performance is pretty good (though not nearly as good as when I saw him play here a few months ago with...

What a great collection! Super raw! I've seen Burnside live many times and this CD captures his personality and music in a nutshell -- unlike anything out there. Burnside is powerful with his group, but "Staggolee" shows just how frightening he can be on his own. Filled with classics: Boogie Chillen, How Many More Years, Mojo Hand, and even My Babe, which I never heard him do. All in a pared down, super raw setting. Beautiful vocals, great guitar. A must buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this CD, April 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Well Well Well (Audio CD)
I love this CD. It took a couple of listenings to sink in, but then I was hooked. Not since the Smithsonian recordings has there been such a riveting collection of snapshots in time. Burnside is Robert Johnson 2001 -- entertainer, great musician and philospher of humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, December 22, 2009

If you love RL, you'll love this disc. It wonderfully augments his produced albums. The recording quality is great considering that these are not studio recordings. The material is excellent and varied. Highly recommended.

Wow - Give a real bluesman some success, like R.L. Burnside, and suddenly every slimebucket with a dusty old bootleg of the man will come crawling out from under their rock to cash in on the man.

This record is ...not worth half the price. Sure, it's R.L. and his performance is pretty good (though not nearly as good as when I saw him play here a few months ago with Robert Belfour), but the qualilty is very weak, and this doesn't measure up to most of his best albums. Want good R.L.? Buy Too Bad Jim or his acoustic labum, Mississippi Hill Country Blues. Got those? Then get Robert Belfour's latest album, but don't touch this one with a 5 foot stick.

Hey - I've got a bootleg of R.L. also! Can I put out an album too?
