See also this radio blog entry with Luther Dickinson Interview coming up 3-11-2008

Y’all know North Mississippi Allstars are playing this week in our suburban regions, this Tuesday 2-19 in Dallas at the fabulous Granada, this Wednesday 2-20 at the Rev Room in Little Rock.

Good news Fayetteville! They’ll be back around, in our town very soon. Just Announced:
NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS - GEORGE’S MAJESTIC LOUNGE - FAYETTEVILLE - TUESDAY MARCH 11TH!

Tuesday is the day of Honest Tunes Radio Show. On Tuesday 3-11-08 we will dedicate 2 hours of Honest Tunes Radio Show to the music of NMAS and associated projects. I’ve invited the band members to visit the studio for an interview if possible, so stay tuned for more on that.

In other NMAS news, lead guitarist Luther Dickinson became a member of The Black Crowes recently, as we announced on the radio show when he officially joined them. Even before that, Luther had been working with the Crowes on the recording of the new album Black Crowes album, Warpaint (2008) — which will be the Crowes’ first album since 2001.

Luther Dickinson has said he plans to continue with NMAS as well, and to boot: NMAS has a great new studio album just-released called Hernando (2008), that will be featured on an upcoming edition of Honest Tunes Radio. Listen for our review and favorite tracks in the next couple of weeks. NMAS also put out the fan-and-web-only acoustic CD, Song Of The South Presents: Mississippi Folk Music, Volume One, by The North Mississippi Allstars, with Chris Chew and Cody Dickinson taking vocals in addition to Luther’s, their Dad, Jim Dickinson sitting in on piano, and a couple of fine instrumentals. This acoustic CD was named #4 on Honest Tunes Radio’s Top 10 Albums of 2007. The tour they did with that album, acoustic format, and Mavis Staples and Charlie Musslewhite, also was my favorite concert of last year and probably one of the coolest tours, that made a solid run of theaters.

Look out for Luther going worldwide next, as he will join the Crowes international tour about to embark in March.

Here’s some info about the new Black Crowes CD, Warpaint, which has Luther Dickinson jamming along with the Robinson brothers.

In addition to the re-launch of Crowes Myspace, Facebook, etc., the Black Crowes uploaded a new video promo for “Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution” and a new widget. Plus, http://www.theblackcrowes.com/ now has a “countdown to release date” ticker.

I’m going to try to embed a YouTube cell phone video of Col Bruce Quark and Saw shows from 2-9-2008 Little Rock (Sticky Fingerz) and 2-10-2008 Fayetteville (George’s on Dickson Street).

I am going to George’s for the Benefit show, meanwhile the Lady Razorbacks are broadcasting a game on KXUA tonight (that is why I’m not doing a radio show tonight). I’ll be back next Tuesday with a brand-new batch of music to play on Honest Tunes, and a radio review for the Baby Eleanor. Please click Eleanor’s links if you’re from out-of-town, or head down to George’s tonight if you live near Fayetteville.

To Benefit the Baby Eleanor is a benefit concert to be held Tuesday December 4, 2007 at 7:00pm at George’s Majestic Lounge on Dickson Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas. HT listeners know our friend Clayton Suttle as the drummer from Eckobase & co-founder of the Great Unknown Festival.

There will be multiple musical performances on two stages, including Mark Bilyeu of Big Smith , Mountain of Venus , Joseph Israel, Charliehorse, DJ Hod-I, Tiffany Christopher, and Speakeasy. There will be a silent auction, raffles and food provided by the Greenhouse Grille . Doors open at 7:00pm and admission is a $10 donation available at George’s Majestic Lounge the day of the event.

All proceeds will go to the support of Eleanor Rose Suttle’s rehabilitation treatments. Read on »
