Free Music Review: Dark heart of the blues
Hit: 5 Stars
In 1997, I went to my local record store in search of the much-celebrated Junior Kimbrough album All Night Long. It wasn't in stock, so I picked up Junior's then-latest record, Most Things Haven't Worked Out.
In the subsequent decade, I've collected virtually everything he recorded, but Most Things Haven't Worked Out remains my favorite.
If you're not familiar with Kimbrough, be forewarned: His music ain't easy listening. At first blush, it can be fairly impenetrable. The sound is murky and primordial with trance-inducing grooves and strange, loping rhythms. His vocals are a mix of holler and mumble.
But once you're hooked, there's no turning back. His music at its best - as on Most Things Haven't Worked Out - is truly intoxicating. That's no mere hyperbole. After a while its grooves become so insistent and so mesmerizing that it makes the listener - at least THIS listener - dizzy.
Simply put, nobody sounds like Junior Kimbrough.
Most Things Haven't Worked Out is more ramshackle than his Fat Possum debut All Night Long, but it's a riveting listen. Recorded partly at his famed juke joint in Holly Springs, Mississippi, the record is chaotic and primal, at times threatening to collapse in on itself. But it never does, and that's its beauty.
If you're ready to go searching for the dark heart of the blues . . . let Junior be your guide.
