Provogue Records is proud to announce the latest studio album from Grammy-Award Winning Bluesman, Cedric Burnside, entitled 'Hill Country Love'. To Cedric Burnside, 'Hill Country Love' is a culmination of a career that's already seen astonishing accomplishments and only keeps growing.

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. 'Hill Country Love' is available everywhere on April 5th, 2024, on limited edition LP, CD, and digital.
