Don’t miss GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Cedric Burnside when he makes his Jorgensen debut this fall to support his deeply personal and artistically bold new album Hill Country Love. Released earlier this year by Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group, Burnside has spent the better part of 2025 bringing the energy of ‘Hill Country Love’ to audiences across the US and Canada. 
 
The record vibrantly explores the subset genre of Hill Country Blues, infused with Burnside's singular experiences and musical heritage from the rolling hills of Northern Mississippi. The album's lead single and title track "Hill Country Love" is a heartfelt tribute to Burnside's roots and journey, accompanied by a striking music video directed by Jim Arbogast (see video below).
 
“I’ve been traveling my whole life, and the song ‘Hill Country Love’ gave me a chance to let people know that I love what I do and give a sense of how we do it in Mississippi,” Burnside shares. “So that's what I was thinking about as I was writing that song – where I come from and also where I'm going, and how my journey has been to get to where I'm at now.”
 
Burnside's musical odyssey began when he was just 13, playing drums for his grandfather, the legendary R.L. Burnside. His recording career spans more than a decade and is marked by critical acclaim and artistic growth, with GRAMMY nominations for Descendants of Hill Country and Benton County Relic. Following the 2021 release of ‘I Be Trying,’ Burnside won Best Traditional Blues Album at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards. The recognition solidified his place as not just the progeny of the Hill Country Blues, but also the genre’s torchbearer for the next generation.
 
Hill Country Love stands as a testament to his family’s rich heritage and his innovative approach to music. The album is an intimate portrayal of his life's experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Burnside’s commitment to authenticity shines through each track, offering a modern interpretation of the blues while staying true to its roots.
