The 17 Best Southern Albums of 2017

Roll and Tumble
R.L. Boyce

A protégé of Mississippi Fred McDowell, R.L. Boyce is one of the last of the true Hill Country bluesmen, a line that includes McDowell, R.L. Burnside, and Junior Kimbrough. His free-spirit and personality ooze throughout the album’s ten songs, filled with plenty of jokes and cackling laughter. And Boyce isn’t shy about showing his cards early: The opening cut, “R.L.’s Boogie,” is a nine-minute master class in the Hill Country blues’ hypnotic sound.

Essential tracks: “R.L.’s Boogie” and the humid, slow groove of “Been Around the World.”
