North Mississippi Allstars released their 6th studio
ablum ‘World Boogie is Coming’ out
September 2013. The album was named in memory of the legendary music producer Jim Dickinson. It is a phrase he used often, and his
sons Luther and Cody, who formed the North Mississippi Allstars in 1996 are
paying tribute to dad, along with R.L.Burnside,
whose sons Duwayne & Garry perform on the album as does Sharde Thomas
(Vocals, fife) whose grandfather is Otha Turner,
all legends of their time.
The Allstars: Southern
Rock, Blues Rock, Jam Band, Alt Rock, Mississippi Folk-Blues band had an
education in the blues from their parents, and they have turned it into a sound
of their own, with swampy rootsy power blues. The rocking duo Luther Dickenson
(Counting
Crowes lead guitarist on albums 2008-2010) with brother drummer Cody (Hill County Revue) along with Chris Chew, bass put together songs
of R.L.
Burnside, Otha Turner and Jim Dickinson, and various
others. Robert Plant plays Harmonica on tracks one and
two, and together they have created a dynamic masterpiece, of old and new music to enjoy.
The band does back-up and tours with John Hiatt. They released an album with him entitled Master of Disaster. All members
of the Allstars have teamed up with Robert Randolph and John Medeski to form The Word.
The Grammy
nominated band (3 Nominations, previous albums) have opened for Robert Plant (2011)
