The late Hill Country bluesman R. L. Burnside was a much-beloved fixture at Memphis music festivals, and his legacy is continued by his grandson Cedric Burnside, who is both a first-rate guitarist and an amazing drummer.

JJ DOOM “Guv’nor”
Finally checked out DOOM’s new album with Jneiro Jarel, Keys to the Kuffs. I found the album on Spotify, and after one listen I’m diggin it. I find it interesting he features Brother Bobby Hemmitt lectures on it. I’m actually not familiar with Jeneiro Jarel, so I’ll be looking up his other work tonight. I’ll have to see if I can buy it at CD Source or Good Records later today.
Anything with Doom is worth hearing.

Walking Around the Metal Museum
Walking around the National Ornamental Metal Museum, Memphis, 9/2/12
The National Ornamental Metal Museum is a Memphis treasure that is all-too-neglected by local residents. With its lovely setting high on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, the museum is an attractive place to walk and catch one-of-a-kind glimpses of the river. The buildings, originally part of a US Naval Station, are also historic and attractive. But the metal artwork is the real attraction of the museum, with unique pieces displayed all over the beautifully-landscaped grounds. Also, unlike most other museums, visitors can watch artisans at work and see how ornamental metalworks are created. Visit http://www.metalmuseum.org/ for further info about the only metal museum in the country, or like them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Metal-Museum/75275615081 or follow them on Twitter https://twitter.com/metalmuseum.
