R.L. Burnside's raw, electric style fuses Chicago and Delta blues into an arresting, often hypnotic swirl and on Come On In, the harcore bluesman even begins to incorporate '90s technological advances into the fold. The simple, hard-hitting rhythms and hooky, repetitive guitar riffs that are the cornerstones of Burnside's style lend themselves quite naturally to the looping and sampling techniques that give the album its eccentric, wild-card feel. The electronically altered structures of Come On In provide a fresh look at a tradition and style Burnside helped pioneer.
