R.L. Boyce: Hill Country Blues Torchbearer from Mississippi
R.L. Boyce (1955–2023) was an American blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter from Como, Mississippi, celebrated as one of the last great voices of North Mississippi Hill Country blues. Born Robert L. Boyce, he grew up immersed in the region’s fife-and-drum tradition and began his musical journey as a drummer for his uncle Otha Turner’s Rising Stars Fife & Drum Band.
In the 1980s, Boyce switched to guitar, influenced by R.L. Burnside, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and Jessie Mae Hemphill, with whom he also performed. His music was known for its hypnotic rhythms, improvisational structure, and deep connection to Mississippi’s rural roots—a raw, rhythmic sound that embodied the spirit of front-porch blues.
Boyce released his debut solo album Ain’t the Man’s Alright in 2013, followed by Roll and Tumble in 2017, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album. In 2023, he received the National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, honoring his role in preserving and advancing traditional American music.
Until his passing in 2023, R.L. Boyce remained a beloved community figure and host of the annual R.L. Boyce Picnic, a celebration of Mississippi music and culture. His legacy continues through the enduring groove of Hill Country blues and the generations of musicians he inspired.

Grego’s notes: “It sounds so easy to play, but getting the right kind of “loose” to play hill country blues is very hard… RL does it and does it perfectly – almost without effort it appears. I’m super jealous of that – but I was thrilled to make this poster design”
