The most evil blues man you'll ever meet.

We Say...
A friend who once accompanied me to Kimbrough's Mississippi juke joint, where this live album was recorded, subsequently pronounced the music "evil," meaning it as a compliment. Though Junior's mesmerizing blues isn't literally evil, it's more than merely "dark" because he sometimes violated one of the prime rules of blues: rather than stating his worst ordeals and fears so he could transcend them, he seemed to revel in them. But the sheer, relentless repetition of Junior's one-chord grooves — interrupted by startling solo embellishments that bite like a poisonous snake, along with a shattered voice that's paradoxically almost sweet — is exhilarating. From the brutal rape fantasy of the title song (where his unclear stance arouses wildly conflicted feelings) to the lusty "All Night Long," the country cry of "Meet Me in the City" to the pained plea of "Done Got Old," Kimbrough creates a visceral, nightmare world that traps listeners in order to set them free.

They Say...
A beautifully packaged edition of Junior Kimbrough's first album, recorded live in the converted church that replaced Kimbrough's original wooden shack juke joint. The lineup is Kimbrough on vocals and guitar, Garry Burnside on bass, and Kenny Malone on drums (it's a family business around this area, and you'll find Burnsides and Malones all over Fat Possum's releases). All Night Long is a big, scruffy racket of an electric blues album, and it's fantastic material, a mix of charging, biting rhythms, intense slow blues, hollerin', stompin' and moanin'. The lack of studio polish is a big plus here -- producer Robert Palmer was absolutely right to give this to us flubs and all -- and the energy is wonderful. A great electric blues portrait that's getting widespread attention at last -- and deserves it all.
