Burnside To Open For Beasties
R.L. Burnside, Pennywise, Lynnfield Pioneers, Pete Townshend, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Junior Kimbrough. . .
North Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside will open for the Beastie
Boys in Toronto on Aug. 15.
The B-Boys gig is hardly the 71-year-old artist's first foray into ultra-hip modernity.
His forthcoming album, Come On In (Aug. 25), is a series of remixes by producer
Tom Rothrock (Beck, Foo Fighters).
