Description
xDavid "Junior" Kimbrough, quite possibly the wildest blues guitarists around, and none of US will ever see the likes of again. Junior kicked the bucket in January of heart failure. This is the last recording by this hypnotic blues master before his... well you know. Track highlights include: "You're Gonna Find," "Your Mistake," "I Goota Try You Girl," "I'm IN Love with You," "I Cried Last Night," "Tramp," "All Night Long" and more! AMAZON.COM This posthumous release from the Mississippi hill-country guitarist is a mixed bag, with recording dates ranging from 1992 to early 1997. For all that, it's a solid collection, an eight-track testimonial to Junior Kimbrough's distinctive sound. From the full, haunting sound of both guitar and vocals on the opening "You're Gonna Find Your Mistake," to the rhythmic subtlety of "How Do You Feel" that's very reminiscent of early country blues, to the steady groove of "I Cried Last Night," God Knows I Tried showcases Kimbrough's unusual style to good advantage. The isolation of Kimbrough and his Mississippi compatriots produced a sound quite unlike any other regional style; distinct from the Chicago style and even from Delta blues, what one hears here is music that's almost trance-inducing without becoming monotonous, music that seems tailored for live playing and hearkens to the days when that was mainly how one heard it. The variations in sound on this CD suggest that they weren't originally recorded with the intent of putting them all on the same album, but the quality of Kimbrough's performance more than overrides such minor quibbles. --Genevieve Williams REVIEW [Junior Kimbrough] created a wholly unique musical sound, instantly recognizable and inextricably linked to its place of origin. ... The material on God Knows I Tried may be outtakes ... but it holds its own alongside his other Fat Possum sets. -- Living Blues See more
