Artist Biography by Bill Dahl
Cited as a prime early influence by rockabilly pioneer Charlie Feathers, Mississippi Delta bluesman Junior Kimbrough's modal, hypnotic blues vision remained a regional sensation for most of his career. He finally transcended the confines of his region in the early '90s, when he appeared in the 1991 movie Deep Blues and on its Anxious/Atlantic soundtrack, leading to his own debut for Fat Possum Records, All Night Long.
Junior Kimbrough was born and raised in Hudsonville, Mississippi, where he learned how to play guitar by listening to records by Delta bluesmen. In 1968, he cut his first single, "Tramp," for the local Philwood label. For the next two decades, Kimbrough didn't have the opportunity to record frequently -- he recorded a single, "Keep Your Hands Off Her," for High Water and his "All Night Long" was available on the various artists compilation National Downhome Festival, Vol. 2 released on Southland Records.
During the '70s and '80s, Kimbrough played juke joints throughout Mississippi, which is where music journalist Robert Palmer discovered him in the late '80s. Palmer featured Kimbrough in his documentary film Deep Blues. The exposure in the movie led to a national record contract for Kimbrough -- he signed with Fat Possum and released his first full-length album, All Night Long, in 1992. The record was critically acclaimed by both blues and mainstream publications, as was Deep Blues and its accompanying soundtrack. All of the media attention led to performances outside of the Delta, including a few shows in England. After the flurry of activity in 1992, Junior Kimbrough returned to playing juke joints in the Delta, recording occasionally -- he released his second album, Sad Days, Lonely Nights, in 1993. Most Things Haven't Worked Out followed in 1997, and a year later Kimbrough returned with God Knows I Tried. He died of a heart attack on January 17, 1998.

Biografía del artista por Bill Dahl
Citada como una de las primeras influencias tempranas del pionero del rockabilly Charlie Feathers, la visión modal e hipnótica del bluesman del Delta del Mississippi Junior Kimbrough se mantuvo como una sensación regional durante la mayor parte de su carrera. Finalmente trascendió los confines de su región a principios de los 90, cuando apareció en la película de 1991 Deep Blues y en su banda sonora Anxious / Atlantic, lo que lo llevó a debutar con Fat Possum Records, All Night Long.
Junior Kimbrough nació y creció en Hudsonville, Mississippi, donde aprendió a tocar la guitarra escuchando discos de Delta bluesmen. En 1968, cortó su primer sencillo, "Tramp", para el sello local Philwood. Durante las siguientes dos décadas, Kimbrough no tuvo la oportunidad de grabar con frecuencia: grabó un sencillo, "Keep Your Hands Off Her" para High Water y su canción "All Night Long" estuvo disponible en la compilación de varios artistas National Downhome. Festival, vol. 2 lanzado en Southland Records.
Durante los años 70 y 80, Kimbrough tocó juntas juke a lo largo de Mississippi, que es donde el periodista musical Robert Palmer lo descubrió a finales de los años 80. Palmer presentó a Kimbrough en su documental Deep Blues. La exposición en la película condujo a un contrato discográfico nacional para Kimbrough: firmó con Fat Possum y lanzó su primer álbum de larga duración, All Night Long, en 1992. El disco fue aclamado por la crítica tanto por el blues como por las principales publicaciones. Deep Blues y su banda sonora de acompañamiento. Toda la atención de los medios llevó a actuaciones fuera del Delta, incluidos algunos espectáculos en Inglaterra. Después de la oleada de actividad en 1992, Junior Kimbrough volvió a tocar juke joints en el Delta, grabando de vez en cuando, lanzó su segundo álbum, Sad Days, Lonely Nights, en 1993. La mayoría de las cosas no han funcionado en 1997, y un año después Kimbrough regresó con God Knows I Tried. Murió de un ataque al corazón el 17 de enero de 1998.
