Something old, something new

Blues music has been on my playlist lately. It's so gritty and raw...and moving.

S recently reminded me of the wonderful jam "Meet Me in the City" written and performed below by Mississippi bluesman Junior Kimbrough.



Guess who else digs Junior Kimbrough? None other than The Black Keys, that's who!

Their entire 2006 album Chulahoma features nothing but Junior Kimbrough tunes. The title is the name of Kimbrough's hometown.
