Delta Blues Master :

In most every corner of the world there is a great local Blues musician. In the Mississippi Delta they have their favorites too. For 30 years Junior Kimbrough was one of them until his national debut on Fat Possum Records. Then the world discovered another gem from the Delta. His raw Country Blues roots mixed with modern Soul but never washed off the mud.
