I’m from the Middle East and I’ve never stepped into delta country let alone the USA, yet Juniors Kimbrough’s music resonates with me and will forever be dear to me. Junior inspired me to learn the guitar, now I know 2 of his songs, more to come. His music is never tiring. I hope he’s smiling over every time I play or listen to him
When a person "hears" the Blues, they change. Deep down inside, within their Heart of Hearts. It is like finding a long lost brother. The smile they smile, is a brave, loving smile. The Blues have a way of unifying life's mysteries with it powerful healing magic. the Blues tell us a story. Retold over a million times, it offers something new , with each reiteration. It is a primal force. It makes men into a MAN, and women into a WOMAN. It brings us hope, joy, and solace. the Blues can bring tears to your eyes,and it will dry them as well. This music brings people together. It is more about what we all share, and have in common. I love the Blues more and more , because of it's diversity, and appeal. Because it is constantly reinventing it's sound with every new bluesman who sings, plays, and lives in the sanctified neon light of bars, clubs, festivals, basements, one room apartnents, garages, back porches, juke joints, or any place you may be. Most of all the spirit of the Blues lives in our hearts, ready to be a guiding light when we are down. A friend once said to me, " If you don't love the Blues, you have a hole in your soul " and he is so right. Here's why: The Blues has 3 chords, 12 bars, and one story to tell. It ain't black, it ain't white, it's just the Blues. Now, get out there, and get you some. Much love to all my soul brothers, and sisters. I'm gone to pitch me a wang dang doodle, all night long !
For years, I've wanted to see what one of Junior's sets actually looked and sounded like. It is everything I'd hoped it would be. Thanks so much for sharing this.
@@mstrhoop outside Holly Springs,MS away from everything......walking in there was like stepping into the Blues Bermuda Triangle. Step in at 9:00pm and before you know its its 4:00 in the morning and your still drinking Busch quarts in a daze at what you just experienced.
This is why I like the RUclips! Excellent stuff that is hard to find n the real world anymore. Junior is a big reason I play guitar now after 30 years of drumming!
Thank you for uploading this gem. I was lucky as hell to see the Fat Possum Mississippi Juke Joint caravan in the 90s with Junior, R.L. and Little Dave Thompson. May all three rest in peace.
I was there three times, the first time, in the summer of 1995 was one of the outstanding nights of music in my life. Was there way too early, around 5, so met a lotta family. Shot pool with Garry Burnside! I thought maybe it was this show, I know Junior wore a white T shirt. I have a pic, I checked, in mine he’s wearing a Fat Possum t-shirt
We’ll set up our tv, turn lights down n we sit back watchin this on our tube, grabbing some beers n whatever, turn it up loud n imagine that we there at Junior Kimbrough’s Juke Joint. Yes, we can only imagine but we make it real as can be we gotta shout to one another over our speaker volume n well all dat betta than none. This is way nice thank you for posting this an intimate evening with Junior Kimbrough, family, friends ~~~Junior Kimbrough’s Juke Joint Community lives on forever!
I love how there not afraid to go super low key with the music and then let rip when theyre feeling it. It’s just a natural vibe people enjoying playing music.
Just discovering Junior Kimbrough and this is a jackpot! Thank you so much for sharing. I heard about his place but never had a chance to go. This really helps me imagine what it was like to have been there.
Whoever uploaded this, thank you ❤💛💚 I'm from Harmontown, Lafayette County, MS and have grown into an artist and musician because of the music of Junior Kimbrough and R. L. Burnside amongst others. Im keeping this on repeat for as long as it stands.
I haven't gone out for live music since seeing Mr Airplane Man in Ottawa and then Montreal about 4 years ago and this video is the closest thing I've come across to that experience. I love it. I'm having a Saturday night out at home listening to it and 'dancing' in my chair to the music.
Wow !! Absolutely amazing video !! Thanks for share !! Im a fan of all Hill Country Blues, and of course everything of Junior Kimbrough, RL Burnside, etc. !! Cheers from South América - Bolivia !!
Fui el año 1996 A conocer los BLUES y gracias a Díos conocí al señor junior y su magia y el juke joint, lo recuerdo con cariño por que pude aprender como se debe tocar la batería en los BLUES. Gracias desde Argentina muy emocionado. 🙏
This is great stuff, if you listen carefully Jr's solos will invariably have a few f*ck ups in them (usually bad notes or missed) but it just endearing, sounds good anyway. I loved the informal way he stopped playing, shoved a guy, and shouted mic instructions. Very cool.
Oh this film brings memories, I can feel the heat and the mosquitoes in the parking lot from dem juke joint nites, Friday n Saturday cuttin up n Sunday in church 🙏🏿 Why did it have to end, I was just getting a round of shots and a Budweiser for everybody 😂! I came back from the bar and all I see is two arrows to the left, I was gonna holla a the white chick 🐥😂
@@austinmonroe3894 Thanks! I'm all sorts of confused, so did Kinney stop playing guitar to focus on drums? Cause, he's a bad boy on six strings, total natural.
@@klopek24 they all play everything at different times tbh. Lemme get proof for ya. I’m friends w/ most of the surviving Kimbroughs and Burnsides on FB.
I am very new to Junior's music and I love it, can anyone identify the first few songs?Especially the first one captured my heart with that hypnotic bassline. Thank you
@34:50 Now I get what was one of Junior's secret weapons: the shape and size of his thumb.Seems as long as his other fingers, I've never seen that before!
Holly Springs, Mississippi, not Holly Hills. But thanks for posting this great video! I got to go there and see him live before he died, and before it burned down (the second time).
Joel Slotnikoff was just reading in the new Robert Johnson bio that there’s a Holly Ridge, Mississippi. Apparently, it’s south of Jackson, but for a second o thought I might have been wrong! Just lucky to get to see the Man himself in his club!
@@bradkelley8732 Actually, Holly Ridge is about 4 miles from where I grew up in the Mississippi Delta. It's a tiny place about 4 miles west of Indianola, just off Hwy 82. Fairview community. Nothing really there any more. Charlie Patton is buried there. Asie Payton (of Fat Possum label) was from there as well. Jackson is south/central MS.
I seemed to have missed most of the older guys. I caught a lot of the older jazz musicians, but missed many of the blues players. Thanks for the important upload of an American musical legend! It’s important to remember where the blues came from and who brought it forth.
@@bradkelley8732Holly Ridge North of Jackson tween Indianola and Greenville. Resting place of Willie Foster, Asie Payton and Charley Patton. I drink with them often and see that their graves are kept moist.
Hi Joel, I'm making a film about Junior's Place and just stumbled on this footage. Amazing that you only recently uploaded it. How can I get hold of you?

This is my absolute favorite thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips. I watch it often. Thank you for this.
Thank God this was preserved for all time.
This is true blues. This is what authentic blues is. I’m so thankful for this footage. ❤
Have you ever even set foot in Mississippi?
@@perceptionmanagement2116
Little fella, I have lived on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi Delta for 48 years. Can I help you with somethin? 😂
@@perceptionmanagement2116
You probably don’t even know what style of blues this is. 😂

It's not just the blues...this is dance music at a for real juke joint....

For years, I've wanted to see what one of Junior's sets actually looked and sounded like. It is everything I'd hoped it would be. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Good old Days right here
We use to juke up in there ❤️
That was the place to be

he changed my music life. Hendrix to Buddy Guy is a fan of JRs, so he is a super hero
Seeing Junior and RL play at Junior's is on my "Hole in the Bucket" list-of things that will never happen. **sigh**
Thank you for this.
This had to be in the early 90”s, amazing footage. People having fun.

ramiro fauno martinez junior played a style called cotton patch soul blues. A bit different than hill country blues :)
Junior is as much of a master of his style as Savia Andina and Luis Rico are of musica folklorica. I love Junior and God I love Savia Andina

Thanks for all your lessons 👍
