Compatible with all MP3 players including iPod, iPad, iTunes and Window Media Player
The set kicks off with a version of Fred McDowell's "Shake 'Em on Down," proving this crew knows their history. Modern blues legend R.L. Burnside guests on a handful of his own tunes, including "Jumper on the Line" and "Snake Drive," while his grandson Cody raps on the hard-driving "Be So Glad." For all of the music's deep blues roots, though, the Allstars play with the technical flash of a rock band, lending sophistication to the proceedings.
Recorded live at the 2004 Bonnaroo Festival, this North Mississippi Allstars record is a family affair. The concert is an endless parade of both blood relatives and community-related musicians, all of whom hail from the same area of Mississippi. The family lines are represented by the Dickinsons (Allstars Luther and Cody, and their father Jim), the Burnsides (Duwayne, Garry, Cody, and R.L.), and Othar Turner's descendents (Turner's Rising Star Fife & Drum Band made some of the earliest and most compelling music to emerge from the region). There are also a few "extended family" members thrown in for good measure.
North Mississippi Allstars: Chris Robinson (vocals, guitar); Jim Dickinson (vocals, Hammond b-3 organ, keyboards); Chris Chew (vocals, bass guitar); R.L. Burnside (vocals); Cody Burnside (rap vocals); Rising Star Fife & Drum Band (various instruments); Garry Burnside (guitar); Jojo Hermann (Hammond b-3 organ, keyboards); Duwayne Burnside (drums).
Uncut (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[S]tonking blues-rock..." Down Beat (p.83) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Allstar guitarist Luther Dickinson is positively inspired on 'Skinny Woman' and 'Goin' Home Part Two."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)
north missippi allstars Excellent selection of vasocals and instruments.
Really enjoyed it. Submitted by shootingstardd2002 (whitman ma) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Great Album This is the Allstars at their best, not to mention that RL Burnside and JoJo Herman are there. It's a great mix of classic RL Burnside blues songs and new NM allstars. Cody Burnside adds a great new dimension to the group with his rap lyrics, especially in "Be So Glad". This is a must have album for anyone interested in the hill country blues, or rock and roll in general. Submitted by abshiver (Oxford, MS) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
