RL Burnside, Jr. Kimbrough, Otha Turner and their musical families were at their peak; touring the world, making classic records and doing the all-night boogie at Jr's Juke Joint and Otha's BBQ Goat picnics -- the music and the cult <p>The boys in the North Mississippi Allstars – Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson and Chris Chew – used to drive down wide eyed and open eared to watch and listen to these giants among men, the kings of the hills playing their music with their people for their people. These musical traditions, passing as they have from generation to generation, find continued expression in the North Mississippi Allstars and what they call the "World Boogie." </p> <p>In their latest and sixth album-length CD release, <em>Electric Blue Watermelon</em>, NMAS returns to its initial form and concept for the band. Luther came up with a strong variety of material put together from Otha Turner's vocabulary of wisdom and wit with some Furry Lewis on the side. Paying musical tribute to the late, great Lee Baker, Otha Turner, and Mark Unobski, Luther sought to immortalize his mentors and childhood influences as contemporary folk heroes.</p> <p>With special guest appearances by friends Lucinda Williams, the incredible Robert Randolph, old road buddies Dirty Dozen Brass Band, rapper Al Kapone from the film "Hustle and Flow" and the ever present syncopated rolling thunder of the Rising Star Fife and Drum Band, this theatrical musical statement goes straight into the cosmos of collective imagination.</p> </span></td></tr></tbody></table> http://do512.com/event/2008/02/21/north-mississippi-allstars-w-alvin-youngblood-hart http://do512.com/event/2008/02/21/north-mississippi-allstars-w-alvin-youngblood-hart.xml Thursday 02/21/08 20080222T020000Z/20080222T020000Z false 0 93.0026 08:00 PM Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:00:00 -0600 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:00:00 -0600 Click "I Like It!" to win free tix! 2 pair will be given away. 47 THU http://www.antones.net/index.cfm?Fuseaction=EventDetail&EventID=8765 http://s3.amazonaws.com/dostuff-production/photos/35693/north_miss_sq_90.jpg Antone's 119 Antone's Antone's Nightclub, the first club on 6th street, opened its doors in the summer of 1975 with the great Clifton Chenier.
