(The Blues) Jimmy 'Duck' Holmes will this month release an album recorded in his juke joint, he's confirmed. It Is What It Is captures the vibe in the Blue Front Cafe, Bentonia, Mississippi - the landmark location he's been running since 1970, after his parents opened it 22 years earlier.

The inaugural release by Blue Front Records, also named after the venue, is described as presenting "the embodiment of raw country blues." The label say:

"The record purposefully allows the cinderblock acoustics to be Jimmy's accompaniment, compelling the listener to close their eyes and experience pulling up a chair in the old juke joint and listening to him play." Read more here.
