The North Mississippi Allstars have one foot firmly planted in the blues. The Dickenson brothers grew up listening to all the juke joint style music like Burnside and Kimbrough. You can hear their other influences like the Allman Brothers and Jimi Hendrix seep through at times. This three piece is out to kick some ass with it's modern take on the blues romps the two brothers grew up on. Guests on the album include Cedric and Gary Burnside as well as Alvin Youngblood Hart. You can tell that NMAS will never be content with playing just one type of music. A stellar debut.
