will kimbrough spring break

​Will Kimbrough (from the album Spring Break available on Daphne Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
The latest from Will Kimbrough finds the multi-instrumentalist, session player, producer playing it as a straight-ahead Folkie in every sense of the f-word. Spring Break is Kimbrough stripped down with a guitar, adding the occasional harmonica and mandolin. The Spring Break title is a play on how the world changed in Spring of 2020, the story content reflecting much of what happened then and since. In true Folksinger tradition, it is an album of dry humor and dense history in the making. The passing of John Prine is still hard to take, Will Kimbrough’s “The Late Great John Prine Blues” a nod to Prine and something lyrically right up the late singers alley, dropping current references and quickly having you have shedding a salty tear. A mandolin gives the drinking song “Rocket Fuel” a new-grass push, “I Want Out” is instrumentally a Gospel Blues cut that backs a get-out-of-this-town tale, and the Bluesy “Cape Henry” is a timeless war ballad, detailing the fact that battle, and its aftermath, stinks no matter the century in which it takes place.
If you are a thirty, forty or fifty age range you will relate to “My Right-Wing Friend” as Will Kimbrough counts as one of millions of Americans with pals that will always vote different, you’re right and they are wrong yet you’ll always have their back, even though they’ll never come to your side of the yard. Playful, funny and poignant, Will Kimbrough’s Spring Break nails the Folkie feeling while serving as a time stamp of weird 2020. (by Bryant Liggett)
