Blues musician RL Burnside dies

Burnside farmed the hill country of northern Mississippi for most of his life. He also played in juke joints. "I did a lot of singin' on plantations when I was plowin' mules, " he told Pulse magazine in 1996. Burnside issued his first album in 1967 and toured sporadically. He achieved wider attention in the early 1990s thanks to the documentary, Deep Blues, produced by British rock star Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and journalist Robert Palmer.
