Dirty Hill Country Blues....

Ironic that someone like me, who grew up in the heart of Delta Blues.. riding my bicycle up and down highway 61 on a near daily basis.. playing in the very waters that gave Muddy Waters his name... should fall for dirty north mississippi hill country blues, but I have. This is Junior's Juke Joint. It is now gone. It was just miles from me at the time, but I was into other things. I never went, though some very good friends did invite me. doh!


So the reason for this post: the new Black Keys album is streaming on NPR for a few more days. So far it is not as raunchy as the some of their earliest work, but that perspective is still there... and I love that mid-fi sound... it is crazy to hear the soul of Junior Kimbrough pouring forth from these two guys from Ohio...


This will be the soundtrack for my last ditch soldering effort and then packing the trailer for Texas...
