The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "Burnin' is another album cut at a single session but it has more texture and spirit than Travelin'. Hooker presides over 11 tracks of uncomplicated danceable music, pushed by the saxes".[4] AllMusic reviewer Al Campbell stated: "Burnin' was released in 1962 and combines 12 tracks of electric material performed by Hooker backed by a band ... recommended".[2]

gollark: I feed `multimon-ng` audio data from the `rtl_fm` program (which demoduldates FM from the RTL-SDR) and it decodes the POCSAG-whatever protocol(s) and outputs the text again.
gollark: "Encoding" is just converting the data into a different form in some way... in this case I guess the text on the pagers to POCSAG-something.
gollark: That's not what encoding means.
gollark: If it was actually encrypted I would need the keys, but it was just broadcast cleartext.
gollark: I just used `multimon-ng` or something, it was available on my Linux distro's package manager.
