NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALL STARS
“Spreading the world boogie”
by Mark Brut
(extract)
Ask someone who the busiest people in rock and roll are and one name usually comes to mind, Warren Haynes. But maybe people need to start including the members of the North Mississippi All Stars in the conversation.
Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson grew up in Hernando, Mississippi under the tutelage of their father, the late Jim Dickinson, a widely renowned musician and producer, who famously played piano on the Rolling Stones “Wild Horses” and has played with, mentored, and produced countless musicians of all genres. Exposed at an early age to an incredible musical education of delta blues and Memphis soul, Luther and Cody formed the North Mississippi All Stars with bassist Chris Chew in 1996.
I spoke with Luther at length about his father, and asked him what the most important element that he taught Cody and him throughout their careers and also growing up in Mississippi. Luther stated “he always said “play every note like it was your last, because one of them will be. His last show was a super high profile gig playing with Elvis Costello and he had a blast. He’ll always be with us man.”
