Free Music Notes for All Night Long

Free Music Review: A refreshing take on a tried-and-true genre.
Hit: 5 Stars

I first heard about Junior Kimbrough through the music of the Black Keys. Their cover of Everywhere I Go was so amazing, that I had to hear more of their influences and where they were coming from. When I was down in Mississippi at a blues festival, I managed to get this at a record store.

Junior Kimbrough is one of the most unique and original blues musicians ever. His style cannot be touched. The closest it comes to is John Lee Hooker, but even Hooker didn't come out with something so hypnotic and intense as this. Junior plays guitar in a natural, unpolished way. He doesn't play anything complicated, but in a way, it is complicated. The bass and drums rumble along with the hypnotic riffs that Junior pulls out, and the short guitar solos are just icing on the cake.

There isn't one bad track on the album, but standouts would have to be "You Better Run," a hair-raising song about rape, "All Night Long," with its creepy intro, and "Meet Me In The City," another song you just don't want to end.

Granted, this is not for beginners. Part of the charm of Kimbrough is through listening to the more popular bluesman, and then going to Kimbrough's music. But when you do, you'll be richly rewarded.

All Night Long Poster

Kimbrough was easily the most arresting figure in "Deep Blues," the documentary movie and soundtrack album about the contemporary Delta blues scene. Music critic Robert Palmer, the movie's "guide," produced All Night Long, Kimbrough's first full length album after more than 40 years of music-making. While many of the other modern Delta musicians are mere imitators of their predecessors, Kimbrough is starkly original. He's backed by just a drummer and bassist who have learned, after years of weekend dance parties at Kimbrough's juke joint, how to anticipate his constant, subtle shifts of rhythmic emphasis. The results resemble John Lee Hooker's boogie but sound less fussy, more ancient, more elemental. --Geoffrey Himes
