Sunday Nights - The Songs of Junior Kimbrough
Editorial Reviews

There are a few musicians more deserving of a tribute than the late Junior Kimbrough. There may be bluesmen of greater fame, but the Mississippi native was among the best. Kimbrough's earthy, groove-heavy approach was somewhat akin to that of John Lee Hooker. Not one of the rock artists on this compilation sounds exactly like him, but all capture different aspects of his artistry. Iggy and the Stooges, who toured with Kimbrough, capture his raw sexuality (two versions of "You Better Run"), while Jon Spencer ("Meet Me in the City") and Mark Lanegan ("All Night Long") capture the subtlety of his singing. The strongest track comes from the Black Keys ("My Mind is Ramblin'"), who capture his grungey guitar sound (they've been covering him for years). The other artists are just as successful, even the Fiery Furnaces ("I'm Leaving"), who sound the least like Kimbrough, but capture his indomitable spirit. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
