David Kimbrough Jr., son of the legendary Junior Kimbrough and passed away on July 4th 2019, was absolutely one of the most talented Blues musicians in his age who inherited and developed the musical tradition of his father, Cotton Patch Soul Blues. This record, “Say You Don’t Love Me: The Last Recordings of David Kimbrough Jr.” is literally his last field recording works with Dolceola Recordings, a music label focusing on documenting American traditional music in analog field recording with a portable reel-to-reel Ampex 601 and a ribbon microphone RCA 77DX. Recorded at his house in Holly Springs Mississippi, October 2017, the album includes some of Junior Kimbrough’s master pieces such as “Meet Me in the City”, “Done Got Old” and “Lord Have Mercy on Me”, David Kimbrough Jr.’s own compositions, and a previously unpublished song written by Junior Kimbrough, “Say You Don’t Love Me”.

David Kimbrough, Jr., the son of Junior Kimbrough, started a career following in his father's footsteps, but was derailed by addictions and incarceration for more than a decade before returning to action in 2006 with Shell-Shocked. The album reflects that life experience, as well as the musical heritage passed down from his father. There are also other musical influences. The smooth sound of Sam Cooke is apparent on the leadoff track, "Come Into My World," and "I Dreamed Pop Gigged with Us," while referring to Junior Kimbrough, actually sounds like an outtake from Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys album with its slow groove and wild electric guitar playing. By the time he gets to the title track, Kimbrough is spelling out his legal problems, and in the ten-minute "I Don't Do the Things I Used to Do," he is declaring himself free from the behavior that landed him in Parchman Farm for real. This makes the following song all the more unsettling. "Wild Turkey" runs 11 minutes, and all of them are devoted to the singer's love for the liquor that goes by that brand name. If the song is as autobiographical -- and as sincere -- as it sounds, someone needs to tell Kimbrough that he still has at least one more problem to overcome. ~Review by William Ruhlmann
