Free Music Notes for Chulahoma

Free Music Review: Any friend of Junior's is a friend of mine
Hit: 5 Stars

When I read the album notes for Chulahoma, I discovered that Dan Auerbach shared exactly the same revelatory astonishment I experienced when I first heard and saw Junior Kimbrough. I will never forget the first time I heard him, on Robert Mugge's amazing documentary, Deep Blues. At the time Mugge filmed him in 1990 there was no such thing as a Junior Kimbrough album, although Junior was already 60 at the time. I could not understand how this unique genius had been overlooked for so long. I had never heard the term before, but I started calling Juniour Kimbrough's music "Trance Blues." That's what it did to me: put me in a trance. That's what it did to Dan, and that's what this album will do to you if you let it. With Junior as his muse, it must have taken considerable courage for Dan to do this album, but the Black Keys pull it off. They take the completely original Kimbrough sound and feeling, and carry it forward musically into the present, adding to and modernizing the sound a bit, but carrying this brilliant musician's ideas forward. They do it with their own songs and god bless 'em they do it with Junior's stuff too. Thankfully, the Black Keys will not have to wait until they are 62 before they are discovered. They are on the way to huge popularity with their own songs, but if you really want to understand where they come from, listen to Chulahoma. And listen to Junior too, All Night Long.

Chulahoma Poster

For their latest, Akron, Ohio duo The Black Keys have brought forth an EP of six songs by Junior Kimbrough. This is no mere dalliance; the late elder Mississippi blues musician was a powerful influence on guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. Their three previous albums, full of dusty grooves and simple but impassioned dynamics, would have found strong rapport with Kimbrough, who unfortunately died before they could ever meet. However, his widow, Mildred gives her passionate endorsement for these performances in the form of a short phone message that appears at the end of the disc. Among the highpoints is "Meet Me in the City," which positively shimmers as the plaintive vocal soars over a virato-ed guitar. The Black Keys, besides paying their heartfelt respects, also demonstrate the breadth and durability of Kimbrough's music. --David Greenberger
