It’s Bad You Know, R.L. Burnside (1998) The remix album Come On In by Delta blues guitarist R.L. Burnside was released on Fat Possum records in 1998.
Burnside was born in 1926 in Lafayette County, Mississippi. He learned from Mississippi Fred McDowell who lived in the next county over. Burnside and his family, tired of the life of sharecroppers, moved to Chicago in the early 50s. Subsequently his father, two uncles and two brothers were murdered there. In 1959 he returned to Mississippi, was convicted of murder himself, and served time at the Mississippi State Penitentiary, aka Parchman Farm.

Norman Lerner worked as a fashion and commercial photographer in New York City from the early 50’s to the 70’s. He states that, “my photography did not end when the model left the studio. The city and its people were a part of me and I was part of them. Everything about the city fascinated me so it seemed only natural for me as a photographer to record the people and places in which I lived. When I left the studio the camera was always with me and it became an extension of my being. It was as natural as breathing.”
