From up in the hill country blues of northern Mississippi comes the dense raw blues of RL Boyce. He is a protege ofMississippi blues men like R.L. Burnside, and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Boyce began his career in the early 1960s as a drummer for his uncle fife and drum performer Othar Turner, and later he was drumed for Jessie Mae Hemphill. All the while waiting to pick up the guitar and front his own band.
The sound he brought to Chicago Blues Fest 2019 was so thick and powerful it made my pant legs flap. The best way to sum up his performance is as R.L. himself says, “Most of it, when somethin’ hits my mind, I just start. I don’t do no rehearsin’ with nobody. I don’t do nothin’ like that. Whatever hits me, I jump in on it.”
