 Cedric Burnside (qv) and Kenny Brown (I) (qv), the members of  Lazarus band, are the grandchildren of legendary (but relatively  unknown) blues singer R.L Burnside (qv). They played in his band  while he toured up until his death in 2005. Additionally, the  reverend (played by John Cothran Jr.  (qv)) is named R.L. On a  side note, features of Lazarus (played by Samuel L Jackson (qv)),  such as his hair and his history with the Juke Joint, are remarkably  similar to Burnsides.
