Junior Kimbrough & The Soul Blues Boys – All Night Long LP

Description

A beautifully packaged edition ofJunior Kimbrough‘s first album, recorded live in the converted church that replacedKimbrough‘s original wooden shack juke joint. The lineup isKimbroughon vocals and guitar,Garry Burnsideon bass, and Kenny Malone on drums (it’s a family business around this area, and you’ll find Burnsides and Malones all over Fat Possum’s releases).All Night Longis a big, scruffy racket of an electric blues album, and it’s fantastic material, a mix of charging, biting rhythms, intense slow blues, hollerin’, stompin’ and moanin’. The lack of studio polish is a big plus here — producerRobert Palmerwas absolutely right to give this to us flubs and all — and the energy is wonderful. A great electric blues portrait that’s getting widespread attention at last — and deserves it all. -All Music Guide
