<< In 2007, while rolling through the American night in a ramshackle retirement home vehicle badly disguised as a tour bus, blues legend Charlie Musselwhite and North Mississippi Allstars' guitarist Luther Dickinson engaged in conversation. The younger man related Alvin Youngblood Hart's philosophical desire to live as a "freedom rocker." The wily elder bluesman listened to his words, then looked out the window and knowingly pointed at the rising moon. He replied: "New Moon Freedom Rockers." Back in Mississippi at the Zebra Ranch studio, Musselwhite and Cody and Luther Dickinson joined forces with their dad, roots rock legend Jim Dickinson (who promptly added the words "Jelly Roll" to the band's name), Alvin Hart, and Jimbo Mathus, with NMA bassist Chris Chew and Paul Taylor as guests. They circled chairs, placed mikes, and hit "record." Afterwards, the session tapes were archived. They sat in the vault until Jim Dickinson passed in 2009, and they became apocryphal. Stony Plain's Holger Peterson contacted Luther and Cody about releasing them. >>
<< Here's to hoping there's enough left over for a second volume. >>
