North Mississippi Allstars – Still Shakin’
Format: CD – Vinyl LP – Digital
Label: New West Records
Release: 2025
Release date: June 6, 2025
25 years ago, the North Mississippi Allstars, the group of Cody and Luther Dickinson, made their debut with ‘Shake Hands With Shorty’
It was their version of the Mississippi blues. To celebrate that in style, they decided to release another blues record: ‘Still Shakin’. They chose a combination of their own songs and covers of Robert Johnson, Junior Kimbrough, Fred McDowell and Furry Lewis and although deeply rooted in the traditional blues, they now also add a very recognizable NMA sauce to it.
And they get a lot of help from friends, with a prominent role for singer Joey Williams. But in any case, the core of their music remains the great percussion of Cody and the truly sublime guitar playing of Luther. Especially that makes ‘Still Shakin’ a top record again.
