Answer

Hill country blues, a raw and hypnotic style of blues, was R. L. Burnside's primary musical genre. Originating in the rural areas of northern Mississippi, hill country blues is characterized by its stripped-down instrumentation, often featuring just a single guitar or fife, and its raw, emotional vocals.
