All-time classic from Junior Kimbrough & The Soul Blues Boys. David Nelson’s oft-quoted description of Kimbrough’s music does it right: “Kimbrough’s music carries the emotion and soul of the deepest blues, yet his music can also match reggae in its hypnotic qualities, as well as stand up to any rock ‘n’ roll for sheer intensity. … Bass, drums, and guitar…anticipate and feed off each other and know where the songs are going, becoming one big churning force.”

Just in, a six-song 10” vinyl issue of Junior Kimbrough’s earliest recordings circa 1966, with some unidentified accompanists, already hitting on that great groove of his. As these tracks were recorded by Quinton Claunch in Memphis, I’d guess these would’ve been for the Goldwax label? One online source claims a CD was issued in 1992, but I can’t find confirmation as of “press time”. The running time is perhaps a bit on the short side, but maybe you’ll be like me and want to play it three times straight so it won’t matter so much.

| This record is a posthumous survey of Kimbrough outtakes. Although these tracks were taken from a three sessions over a span of five years, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some killer stuff on here, particularly the opening track that gives this collection its name and the grooving, instrumental version of one of his trademark tunes, “All Night Long”. 180 gram pressing. |

| Timeless, tranced out Junior Kimbrough blues, produced by Robert Palmer in April 1993, the same month RL Burnside cut Too Bad Jim. That was a mighty fine month in north Mississippi. |
