Hill Country Revue MP3 Album Price: $9.99  

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).
The North Mississippi Allstars were invited to play the 2004 Bonnaroo festival, but instead of just bringing the band itself, they brought along all kinds of friends and family and dubbed it the North Mississippi Hill Country Revue. North Mississippi appears to be an incestuous musical community (just take a look at the players on R.L. Burnside's and Junior Kimbrough's albums), and this show comes off as a giant, joyous family affair. There are the Dickinsons: Luther and Cody along with their legendary father Jim, and three generations of Burnsides with R.L., sons Duwayne and Garry, and grandson Cody (R.L.'s wife was there too). In addition, Othar Turner's Rising Star Fife & Drum Band is being carried on by Othar's grandsons, and bassist Chris Chew and JoJo Hermann would have to be considered members of the extended family, having played with all those folks. The North Mississippi Allstars brand of roots rock and Mississippi blues seems tailor-made for a festival like this, and the good times shine through the great music. It's a loose, rambling set that occasionally drags a bit during introductions and audience interaction, but when the band gets down to playing, some real magic happens. They can play just about anything convincingly, from greasy Mississippi blues like "Snake River Drive" to sounding like the Band on Ry Cooder's "Boomer's Story," even making music from just an electrified washboard (wah-wah washboard) and cigar box guitar (no fooling!). Luther's slide can't help but remind one of Duane Allman, even when he's slipping Dr. John quotes into "Down in Mississippi." They know their history too, dipping into the Mississippi Sheiks songbook while performing with the Rising Star Fife & Drum Band ("Station Blues" aka "Sittin' on Top of the World" goes back to 1930 or so). There are high points throughout the album, but they really hit their stride on the last three tunes or so. No flash, no egos, and no pretension, just genuine American music played from the heart. ~ Sean Westergaard
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.
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.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."

5 stars 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.
