North Mississippi Allstars – Deep South Rock Comes to All Good

The North Mississippi Allstars brought the heat to the main stage Sunday afternoon at All Good Music Festival and Campout 2013.  Their blend of southern rock and blues was exactly what the doctor ordered for the crowd who had been there partying since Thursday night.  The North Mississippi Allstars are a three-piece featuring Luther Dickinson on guitar and vocals, Cody Dickinson on drums and keyboard, and Chris Chew on bass.  It is hard to believe that so much sound can come from only three people.  The Allstars’ set was filled with a variety of first-rate tune including some classic covers.  They played “Hear My Train a Comin’” by Jimi Hendrix and “Goin’ Down South” by R.L. Burnside amongst others.  During the show, each member of the band swapped places and instruments, so all three played each instrument.  This is very unique demonstrates the musical ability of each of these fine musicians.

The North Mississippi Allstars have had quite an eventful past few years.  They opened up for Robert Plant and The Band of Joy for a 2011 tour, and opened up for the Dave Matthews Band for a tour earlier this year.  In between, they found time to record their newest album, World Boogie is Coming, which was released in September.  The North Mississippi Allstars are booked to play a fair amount of shows in the next few months. Be sure to catch them if you are in the south.
