Junior Kimbrough
One of the most exciting blues discoveries of the last decade, David "Junior" Kimbrough played and sang a startlingly deep and direct form of music, one that was entirely divorced from the slicked-back, commercially-minded blues so prevalent in the 1990s. In fact, Kimbrough had been playing guitar since the late 1930s, and even taught rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers how to play; but the relative isolation of his Hudsonville, Mississippi home caused him to labor in obscurity until the late 1980s, when blues historian Robert Palmer featured him in the film documentary, Deep Blues. Kimbrough's first full-length album, 1992's All Night Long, single-handedly put the Fat Possum label on the map; it was recently named "Best Blues Record of the Decade" by Rolling Stone magazine. Kimbrough died of a heart attack in 1998, aged 67. |
