Robert Kimbrough Sr., son of David “Junior” Kimbrough, has released his fourth self-produced album. This release continues Robert’s dedication to sharing the Cotton Patch Soul Blues — the genre created by his father in their family-owned juke joints and porch parties. The Kimbrough sound is often referred to as Hill Country Blues but according to family and Junior himself, it is Cotton Patch Soul Blues.

I Been Fixed is a continuation of this sound which is focused on juke joint style, danceable rhythms, and beats — the sounds that he grew up listening to. Robert’s voice is mature and reminiscent of Marvin Gaye or Prince. There is a certain air and soulful moaning to Robert’s guitar playing that harkens straight back to Junior Kimbrough. Robert plays all instruments on the opening track and guitar and bass throughout the release. That’s Why I Still Love You is the highlight of the CD with its intricate rhythm, complex structure, unforgettable hooks, and masterful vocals. This release was engineered by Janky at Janky Studios in Dallas, TX while Robert was on a Texas tour. Dallas drummer Phillip “Bubba” Barge laid down Robert’s beats, and Janky handled solos on most tracks. The CD closes with the very emotional track In Remembrance of Momma, a passionate dedication to his late mother, Magnolia Malone whom the family misses sorely.

Robert Kimbrough, Sr. continues the Cotton Patch Blues style created by his father, the legendary Junior Kimbrough. From an early age, Robert was steeped in the sounds and life of the Mississippi Hill Country and its distinctive styles of blues. Growing up, Robert listened first-hand to Mississippi blues royalty that played with his father at home in the evenings, at Junior’s juke joint club at night, as well as to the all-too-frequent weekend house party and porch jam sessions. The blues was simply part of everyday life as a Kimbrough. Robert continues his father’s tradition, along with some of his 36 siblings on his father’s side. You can often find many of them sharing the stage on any given night in Mississippi. The Kimbrough name, along with the Burnside name, is part of a blues dynasty that remains strong today, bringing their unique blues style to the world.

The Cotton Patch Blues style that Robert Kimbrough, Sr. continues was best summarized by the pioneer rockabilly performer Charlie Feathers as something between bluegrass and Delta blues. Feathers goes on to describe that the Cotton Patch Blues possess an unusual blues structure that is both inventive and free, and that the close interplay between the bass, drums and guitar rhythms creates an unusual texture. Robert defines Cotton Patch Blues as a deep soul sound that can be linked back to the sounds coming from the cotton fields – field hands singing out as they worked in the rows of cotton.

Ever since I was knee-high to a duck, my dad called me “Willey Woot” and it sticks with me today. That’s what I am calling this CD. This is a mix of songs from my previous self produced CDs in the COTTON PATCH BLUES STYLE that I was raised on. That original SOUL BLUES like my Poppa played. I hope you enjoy. This CD is also dedicated to my pops, Junior Kimbrough.
