Janky’s Junior’s Juke Joint Gallery

I am fascinated by Junior Kimbrough, his music and his juke joints. As most Delta musicians moved north to Chicago, the North Mississippi musicians like Junior and R.L. Burnside stayed in somewhat of a vacuum in Holly Springs as did their music. This is a gallery of images of Junior Kimbrough’s various juke joints, places and performances. I have collected these over the years from multiple sources via download and screengrab from videos. Check out the photography of Adam Smith, Bill Steber and Mark Hoffman.Their talents are timeless. I have met both and they are outstanding people.
