Grammy-Nominated Blues Musician Cedric Burnside Remembers His Roots<\/strong><\/p>\n

NPR<\/em><\/p>\n

Growing up poor in Mississippi, Cedric Burnside didn’t have running water.<\/p>\n

It’s a fact he highlights in the first song on his Grammy-nominated album, Benton County Relic.<\/p>\n

In the upbeat, soulful song, titled “We Made It,” Burnside croons verses like, “I came from nothing, I done been lower than low” and “Walk 3 miles every day, to have water in the house for another day.”<\/p>\n

Burnside grew up in his grandfather’s house, along with many of his cousins. It wasn’t until he was 12 years old that they finally got running water.<\/p>\n

“When you don’t have running water and you finally move in a place that has running water … y’done made it,” he said, speaking to the title of his first song.<\/p>\n

This is a style that strips the music to the bone, according to Greg Johnson, a blues curator at the University of Mississippi.<\/p>\n

“The emphasis is really on the rhythmic drive of the piece,” Johnson said. “You get a little riff going, a little groove going in the guitar. A lot of times you won’t change to another chord.”<\/p>\n
