The Songs of Junior Kimbrough is an EP by American rock duo The Black Keys.
Essentially a tribute album,
it is a collection of the band's cover
versions of songs by Fat
Possum Records bluesman Junior Kimbrough,
who died in 1998. The title is a Choctaw word for red fox and is a reference to
Chulahoma,
Mississippi, location of "Junior's
Place", a juke joint bought by Kimbrough around 1992 and operated after his death by his
sons until it burned down on April 6, 2000
The Black
Keys have covered Kimbrough in their 2002
debut album, with "Do the Rump",
and with "Everywhere I Go" on their second record Thickfreakness.
In 2005, they contributed a "My Mind is Ramblin'" cover to the Sunday Nights: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough tribute compilation, which also features Iggy Pop & The Stooges and Spiritualized.
Chulahoma was recorded in the basement of 54 Metlin Rd. in Akron, Ohio, and was
the band's last record with Fat
Possum Records, as they subsequently signed to Nonesuch Records.
