Junior Kimbrough & The Soul Blues Boys includes: David "Junior" Kimbrough (vocals, guitar).
If All Night Long was a great electric blues portrait, this sophomore release, given more widespread distribution via Fat Possum's deal with Capricorn, is an extension of the portrait, but with a lot more grit and grind thrown in, given a darker, deeper sound by a change in location (still Kimbrough's joint, but a different building). The vocals are further back, buried in the thick, heavy electric mix -- some of this music here is Southern electric blues sounding about the way it might when the apocalypse is just around the corner. Forget the fancy stuff, the polished edges, the studio touches -- there are no second takes, no overdubs, no last chances. It's terrifyingly compelling at times. Junior Kimbrough plays the blues with a raw edge, and it's brilliant, dark and mesmerizing -- and it's on CD, with nothing buried, nothing hidden, and nothing safe, all the sharp edges intact. ~ Steven McDonald

Arranger: Junior Kimbrough.Rolling Stone (12/29/94-1/12/95, p.181) - "...Junior Kimbrough is the blues at its rawest....Chulahoma, Miss., is home to Kimbrough, and only that kind of harsh, lush ancient South could spawn these blues. An electric outfit, the Soul Blues Boys power charge [the music]..."

On his second album for the Concord Jazz label, guitarist Robben Ford stays pretty much to the formula of Blue Moon from 2001. He concentrates on playing, singing, and covering great songs (and even writes a few) with interesting arrangements, inspired solos, and crisp, clean production that lets the song shine through the players. Much has been made of Ford's eclecticism and that is reflected in his choice of material here, though he never strays from the blues or R&B into jazz or fusion. Ford's selection of session players reflects his divergent interests as well: Edgar Winter appears on saxophone, while John Mayall and Ivan Neville guest along with horn bosses Bob Malach and Dan Fornero and Ford's road band. Opening the set with the title track, written by soul man Jackie Edwards, Ford lays out his formula immediately: a tight horn chart for tenor and baritone saxes, as well as trumpet; a crystal clear, expressive vocal delivery; and Ford's signature stinging guitar in the solo break lifts proceedings off on the up tip. The funky read of the Al Perkins/Otis Rush jam "Homework" features some blistering yet tasteful guitar work and a soulful vocal from Ford. But the two covers that proceed immediately thereafter through the entire album into the winds: first there is a beautiful and reverent version of "Badge" by Eric Clapton and Ford's former boss George Harrison as a tribute to the late guitarist, and a radical read of Nick Lowe's classic "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding" with Mavis Staples singing a duet vocal.
First there is the strange intro, a direct quote from Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," then there is the slow, shuffling reggae in the main body of the tune while retaining the melody. It is unsettling, to say the least, with only Ivan Neville's chunking chords on the electric piano keeping some of the tune dirty and immediate. But despite its different read, ...

Sad Days, Lonely Nights

The phrase "trad jazz" is officially applied to the old-fashioned sort of New Orleans-inspired music that was cooked up by British traditionalists during the 1950s and 1960s. Sackville's delightful The Other Parlophones 1951-1954 is one definitive trad jazz compilation. This Humphrey Lyttelton material holds up marvelously when compared with Lu Watters & His Yerba Buena Jazz Band, Bob Scobey's Frisco Band, or even Kid Ory's Good Time Jazz recordings from the mid-'50s. A number of the songs heard on this disc were composed by trumpeter Lyttelton, pianist Graeme Bell, banjoist Norman "Bud" Baker, and other bandmembers. There's also quite a dose of bedrock classic jazz material composed by W.C. Handy, Jelly Roll Morton, Kid Ory, Fats Waller, and Hoagy Carmichael. Note the presence of vocalist Marie Bryant on "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Beale Street Blues," "Georgia on My Mind," and "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." Although she possessed a lovely voice, she made hardly any recordings -- her entire legacy consists of these four tracks, two 78-rpm sides from the 1940s, a calypso date for the Lyragon label, and her appearance in the 1994 film Jammin' the Blues. Speaking of calypso, "Original Jelly Roll Blues" and "King Porter Stomp" are both rendered in a manner worthy of a Mardi Gras celebration as the percussionists play bongos, congas, maracas, and claves. Indeed, the Caribbean flavor of New Orleans music is lovingly conveyed in a rhumba called "Apples Be Ripe"; a calypso celebration of "Fat Tuesday"; a tango-habañera exercise by pianist Mike McKenzie entitled "Mike's Tangana," and "Mamzelle Josephine," a delicious island dance number sung in Creole French and closely patterned on "Salee Dame," an authentic New Orleans recording made in 1947 by Albert Nicholas, James P. Johnson, Danny Barker, Pops Foster, and Freddie Moore. ...
