Thanks for posting that doc!

I've been listening to junior exclusively for the last week and I'm blown away.

Here's a Fat Possum documentary while we wait
and wonder on the trajectory of Notes of Blue.

Here`s another recommendation.It`s not Fat Possum but still cool:

Guitar Shorty-Watch Your Back



Shorty was once married to Hendrix`s sister!He taught Jimi a few tricks on the guitar

Who else does a good 3 piece blues (guitar, bass, drum) in the same vein? Anyone with recommendations?

Check out this one for sure:

RL Burnside-Mr Wizard

Thanks for the interview link Thrasher...

This quote could illuminate on the direction:
“Recently, I’ve been getting really into Junior Kimbrough’s first recordings, if that tells you where my head is at right now.”

By the way, Junior Kimbrough's "first recordings" are actually an album by the same name -- First Recordings. Great stuff.

Its all good Tim! Can't say it enough about Fat Possum and JK. I have a Hezzakiah Lee and Paul Young album that I listen too a bit. I loaned a T-Model Ford out to a friend. I think everything on Fat Possum is worth looking into.
Hezzakiah has some wonderful rollicking distorted blues in the vein of
Mississippi juke joints.

thanks, I'm going to find a copy! I can't get enough of JK, kicking myself for never checking him out, I always saw his name on the Fat Possum roster, but never dabbled, now I'm a convert!

I have to be honest, when Jay went with Honky Tonk, I dove head first and went down the rabbit hole of all that Bakersfield stuff, so glad I did too.

Check out this Junior album:

Damn, this Junior Kimbrough tune "Lord Have Mercy on Me" is badass, sad days/lonely nights album is great,especially if you can sit back for an uninterrupted listen...

If Jay is grooving on this then we are in for a treat!!

[wrecking ball operator]

Jay says, "...a home for us."

What happened with Rounder?

i'll admit I don't have any Junior Kimbrough's music, I must buy some now. I'm starting with first recordings...

[thatbeat]

to me, the term "power trio" involves more dynamics than just 3 guitarists... I'm thinking guitar, drum, bass.... that would be awesome!!!

[ThrasherBear]

Interesting to speculate--too bad Jay didn't mention it in the interview. Logic says it's Jay on guitar, Andrew on bass, Dave on drums. But, Jay has done everything the last 3 years with Gary (Honky Tonk, duo and trio shows). Maybe Spencer on bass? And there's that other drummer nearby. Fun (but pointless) to speculate.
In any case, I think we might have Chickamauga Jay this time. Or not. I do think the energy he has gained from playing some "power trio" (as he himself described it) rock and roll shows up in the latest acoustic shows.
