Junior Kimbrough, huh? That's some real funky down-home current-day Mississippi Delta blues, for sure.

This kind of electrified music is so homespun and so personal that it flatly disproves any argument that electric-guitar playing is ipso facto disqualified from consideration as "folk music." It may not be part of your favorite folk tradition, but it is absolutely undeniable that is does belong to one of the world's preeminent folk music traditions, and a living one at that, the Delta Blues.
