Grammy Nominated album

"The best blues songs have an element of danger like they’re going to fall apart at any moment. It’s a feeling not unlike building Ikea furniture while drunk. Cedric Burnside’s Benton County Relic taps into that invigorating feeling of falling, perfectly slowing the beat of songs to create huge grooves and using raw guitar to accentuate the melodies." - Glide Magazine

"Before I leave this world I want to make my mark," Burnside said. "That's what I'm trying to do right, but as I do that, I want to not forget where I come from and where I learned it from, which is R.L. Burnside."
