Cedric Burnside has shared the cathartic opening track from his new album I Be Trying (out June 25 on Single Lock Records) today, an acoustic-driven reflection on recent times aptly titled "The World Can Be So Cold." As only a true Mississippi bluesman can, Burnside channels those acute experiences of pain, anger, frustration and hurt into an intimate, vulnerable and profound look into his inner life. Recorded at Memphis' hallowed Royal Studios, Cedric draws from his years collaborating with his legendary grandfather RL Burnside while crafting a bold, contemporary Black American sound that serves as a masterclass in Mississippi Hill Country Blues from its greatest living practitioner.
