Growing up poor in Mississippi, Cedric Burnside didn't have running water.
It's a fact he highlights in the first song on his Grammy-nominated album, Benton County Relic.
In the upbeat, soulful song, titled "We Made It," Burnside croons verses like, "I came from nothing, I done been lower than low" and "Walk 3 miles every day, to have water in the house for another day."
Burnside grew up in his grandfather's house, along with many of his cousins. It wasn't until he was 12 years old that they finally got running water.
