Luther Dickinson enters a new phase of his storied musical career with his
rollicking and raw new solo album, Rock æn Roll Blues. From the propulsive beat
and unbridled sound of opener Vandalize, to the insanely catchy Bar Band, itÆs
clear this is a unique chapter in the acclaimed Southern musicianÆs songbook.
More informed by a youth spent listening to punk rock than the blues and boogie
rock of his revered band North Mississippi Allstars, the record consists mostly
of acoustic guitar, stand up bass and drums and although not punk in sound, it
is in spirit and the DIY ethos. In essence, an autobiography set to music, the
10-track LP traces LutherÆs journey from excitable teen to tour-van vet and
offers a side of himself seldom seen before.
The son of the late great producer and musician Jim Dickinson, Luther made his
recording debut at age 14 and has recorded with a whoÆs who of musicians
including The Replacements, Beck, Jon Spencer, John Hiatt, Levon Helm, Mavis
Staples, Ry Cooder and Patty Griffin. He is the lead guitarist and vocalist for
the North Mississippi Allstars and widely known as both a talented musician and
producer with four Grammy« nominations to prove it - three in the contemporary
blues category and one in traditional folk.
