This came out in 1998 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
David (Junior) Kimbrough, who died at age 67 of heart failure in January, was one of the last of the old-time Mississippi bluesmen.
With his sloppy strumming, mush-mouthed grumble and rambling, improvised style, he was also one of the most distinctive. On the four measly albums he got to record in his decades-long career, Junior never failed to tear it up with his primal holler and tear it down with his haunting howl. This is the real deal — the deep blues of backwoods moonshine, juke-joint blowouts, drunken boasting and nasty hungover sorrow. He did more than try.
