    Cedric Burnside And Lightnin' Malcolm at Continental Club

    Cedric Burnside has lived a life steeped in the Delta blues—his grandfather was legendary North Mississippi hill country bluesman R.L. Burnside. Steve "Lightnin'" Malcolm  was raised on the sounds of Muddy Waters and the KCS Railroad in rural Missouri. To say the blues runs in their veins would be both reductive and clichéd, but if you cut either of them, they'll bleed broken homes, juke-joint smoke, and Mississippi mud. Together as Cedric Burnside And Lightnin' Malcolm, the duo makes grimy, drum-and-guitar-based blues with little interest in anything outside of perpetuating traditions established by the likes of Burnside's grandfather.
