Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • & The Soul Blues Boys.
  • Junior Kimbrough & The Soul Blues Boys: Junior Kimbrough (vocals, guitar); Garry Burnside (bass); Kenny Malone (drums).
  • Recorded at Junior's Place, Holly Springs, Mississippi. Includes liner notes by Robert Palmer.
  • If Junior Kimbrough's hypnotic, modal guitar riffs and ghostly, soul-drenched voice, which simultaneously drive and float through tracks like "You Better Run" and "I Feel Alright," don't make you want to take off your shirt and run through the cotton fields guzzling moonshine and screeching at the moon like a banshee, then ALL NIGHT LONG might not be for you. For many, Kimbrough was the embodiment of latter-20th century blues. His legendary juke joint in Holly Springs, Mississippi was the epicenter of North Mississippi blues music from the '70s through the '90s, during which time the region's distinctive approach to the form came to the attention of music lovers elsewhere.
  • ALL NIGHT LONG captures the intensity of Kimbrough's juke joint gigs, and songs like the loping "Meet Me in the City" and the alternating push and pull dynamic of "Done Got Old" reveal the raw, rhythmically intricate nature of the North Mississippi style. Whether Kimbrough performs alone or with the powerhouse backing of his Soul Blues Boys, the fierce, mesmerizing quality of the music never wavers. For fans of true blues, it doesn't get any better than this.
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (5/13/99, p.65) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's."

Rolling Stone (2/4/93, p.69) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Few albums recorded during this current blues revival are as original or intense as ALL NIGHT LONG...these performances confirm that in the right hands the blues are still one of America's most vital musical forms..."

Down Beat (9/95, p.47) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "Kimbrough's ragged-but-right creations make for serious celebratory sounds perfectly suited for all-night sessions on sawdust floors....Kimbrough's sound is a fresh blast of raw-boned brilliance from the last frontier of roots-conscious blues."
