A night at Junior Kimbrough's

[@Strato6049]

I’m from the Middle East and I’ve never stepped into delta country let alone the USA, yet Juniors Kimbrough’s music resonates with me and will forever be dear to me. Junior inspired me to learn the guitar, now I know 2 of his songs, more to come. His music is never tiring. I hope he’s smiling over every time I play or listen to him

[@lawrencesommers8779]

When a person "hears" the Blues, they change. Deep down inside, within their Heart of Hearts. It is like finding a long lost brother. The smile they smile, is a brave, loving smile. The Blues have a way of unifying life's mysteries with it powerful healing magic. the Blues tell us a story. Retold over a million times, it offers something new , with each reiteration. It is a primal force. It makes men into a MAN, and women into a WOMAN. It brings us hope, joy, and solace. the Blues can bring tears to your eyes,and it will dry them as well. This music brings people together. It is more about what we all share, and have in common. I love the Blues more and more , because of it's diversity, and appeal. Because it is constantly reinventing it's sound with every new bluesman who sings, plays, and lives in the sanctified neon light of bars, clubs, festivals, basements, one room apartnents, garages, back porches, juke joints, or any place you may be. Most of all the spirit of the Blues lives in our hearts, ready to be a guiding light when we are down. A friend once said to me, " If you don't love the Blues, you have a hole in your soul " and he is so right. Here's why: The Blues has 3 chords, 12 bars, and one story to tell. It ain't black, it ain't white, it's just the Blues. Now, get out there, and get you some. Much love to all my soul brothers, and sisters. I'm gone to pitch me a wang dang doodle, all night long !

[@offinthehaed]

It's not just the blues...this is dance music at a for real juke joint....

Thank you for uploading this gem. I was lucky as hell to see the Fat Possum Mississippi Juke Joint caravan in the 90s with Junior, R.L. and Little Dave Thompson. May all three rest in peace.

@@mstrhoop outside Holly Springs,MS away from everything......walking in there was like stepping into the Blues Bermuda Triangle. Step in at 9:00pm and before you know its its 4:00 in the morning and your still drinking Busch quarts in a daze at what you just experienced.

[@benlogan430]

This is why I like the KZbin! Excellent stuff that is hard to find n the real world anymore. Junior is a big reason I play guitar now after 30 years of drumming!

[@OokOokEeek]

Seeing Junior and RL play at Junior's is on my "Hole in the Bucket" list-of things that will never happen. **sigh** Thank you for this.

[@johnsturm6993]

I was there three times, the first time, in the summer of 1995 was one of the outstanding nights of music in my life. Was there way too early, around 5, so met a lotta family. Shot pool with Garry Burnside! I thought maybe it was this show, I know Junior wore a white T shirt. I have a pic, I checked, in mine he’s wearing a Fat Possum t-shirt

[@guitargeargarage1482]

We’ll set up our tv, turn lights down n we sit back watchin this on our tube, grabbing some beers n whatever, turn it up loud n imagine that we there at Junior Kimbrough’s Juke Joint. Yes, we can only imagine but we make it real as can be we gotta shout to one another over our speaker volume n well all dat betta than none. This is way nice thank you for posting this an intimate evening with Junior Kimbrough, family, friends ~~~Junior Kimbrough’s Juke Joint Community lives on forever!

This is great stuff, if you listen carefully Jr's solos will invariably have a few f*ck ups in them (usually bad notes or missed) but it just endearing, sounds good anyway. I loved the informal way he stopped playing, shoved a guy, and shouted mic instructions. Very cool.

Joel Slotnikoff was just reading in the new Robert Johnson bio that there’s a Holly Ridge, Mississippi. Apparently, it’s south of Jackson, but for a second o thought I might have been wrong! Just lucky to get to see the Man himself in his club!

@@bradkelley8732 Actually, Holly Ridge is about 4 miles from where I grew up in the Mississippi Delta. It's a tiny place about 4 miles west of Indianola, just off Hwy 82. Fairview community. Nothing really there any more. Charlie Patton is buried there. Asie Payton (of Fat Possum label) was from there as well. Jackson is south/central MS.

I seemed to have missed most of the older guys. I caught a lot of the older jazz musicians, but missed many of the blues players. Thanks for the important upload of an American musical legend! It’s important to remember where the blues came from and who brought it forth.
