April 5 street date. Provogue Records is proud to announce the latest studio album from Grammy award winning bluesman, Cedric Burnside, entitled "Hill Country Love". To Burnside, the album is a culmination of a career that's already seen astonishing accomplishments and only keeps growing. When Cedric prepared to record "Hill Country Love", the follow-up to his 2021 Grammy winning album "I Be Trying", he set up shop in a former legal office located in a row of structures in the seat of Tippah County, a town with 5000 residents that's known as the birthplace of the Hill Country Blues style. The fourteen songs on the record were finished in two days, but in addition to being satisfied with the sound, Burnside believes that his eleventh album represents real creative progress.

June 25 street date. "I Be Trying" might be the title of the new record from two-time GRAMMY nominee Cedric Burnside, but it's also a mission statement in an era when plenty of us have discovered what "the blues" really means. Recorded over three days at Royal Studios in Memphis (the home studio of Al Green and Hi Records in the 60s and 70s), this album is the ultimate statement of purpose for a critically acclaimed artist who has proudly carried the mantle of Mississippi Hill Country blues around the world. Over thirteen tracks, Burnside delivers his bruised but unfettered truth over blistering guitar and deep pocket drums - a sound birthed in his soul but developed and perfected on the road. But no matter how far he travels, the righteous sound he makes could only come from one place. Produced by second-generation Memphis soul trailblazer Boo Mitchell and featuring guest appearances from Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars) and Zac Cockrell (Brittany Howard), "I Be Trying" takes the sound that Burnside learned from his grandfather, blues legend R.L. Burnside, and reinterprets it into a modern, bold Black American sound that expands the sonic landscape while respecting and honouring its roots.
