Waking up Sunday morning (May 3rd), I was in no rush to get down to the Fair Grounds. The final leg of the Jazzfest marathon awaited me, and I felt energized – after sleeping in late, of course. As I approached the gate, I heard Cedric Burnside & Lightnin’ Malcolm bearing down some mean Hill Country Blues. Without hesitation, I headed straight to the Blues tent and sought out those blustery rhythms. There, drummer Burnside – grandson of the Mississippi blues legend R.L. Burnside – and his burly, guitar-toting partner Malcolm blazed through tracks such as the sweltering “My Sweetheart” and the blistering “Tryin’ not to Pull My Gun” from their aptly title album 2 Man Wrecking Crew. The tent was smoking, and the eager crowd dove right into the hard-nosed duo’s muscular beats and fiery guitar riffs.
