Chulahoma

Chulahoma: 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 had already covered Kimbrough on their 2002 debut album, with "Do the Rump", and on their second record Thickfreakness, with "Everywhere I Go". 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. A different rendition of "My Mind Is Ramblin'" appears on Chulahoma. 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.
