Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded live in Kimbrough's Mississippi juke joint, 'Sad Days, Lonely Nights' captures the hypnotic, droning essence of Hill Country Blues. The repetitive, deeply rhythmic guitar work and raw vocal delivery create a lonely, nocturnal atmosphere utterly distinct from Chicago or Delta blues traditions.
