North Mississippi Allstars: New Album in February

FIRST NEW STUDIO WORK IN TWO YEARS

new album

North Mississippi Allstars have announced the release of its first studio album in two years. Keys to the Kingdom arrives February 1, 2011.

Last year, Luther and Cody Dickinson lost their father, Memphis music legend Jim Dickinson, only months before Luther became one. Jim had always told them, “You need to be playing music together. You are better together than you will ever be apart.” Coincidentally, the Dickinson brothers were not together when Jim passed. At that moment, they were both off on their own, Luther with The Black Crowes and Cody with Hill Country Revue. So in the spring of 2010, the North Mississippi Allstars went into the studio to create a record that could help them cope with the loss, and, at the same time, rejoice in his honor. The first line of Jim’s self-written eulogy was, “I refuse to celebrate death.” Luther, Cody and Chris Chew took heed and aimed to celebrate life instead; and the songs for Keys to the Kingdom, came pouring out.

“In the end,” Luther says, “We recorded our best country blues and Mississippi rock ‘n roll record yet – as if our lives depended on it.” Ten years after the release of their debut album, Shake Hands with Shorty, Chew sums it up: “This is grown folks music.”

Track Listing
1. This A’Way
2. Jumpercable Blues
3. The Meeting
4. How I Wish My Train Would Come
5. Hear The Hills
6. Stuck Inside of Mobile With
The Memphis Blues Again
7. Let It Roll
8. Ain’t No Grave
9. Ol’ Cannonball
10. New Orleans Walkin’ Dead
11. Ain’t None O’ Mine
12. Jellyrollin’ All Over Heaven

Jimmy Herring Tour Dates

TOUR KICKS OFF THIS WEDNESDAY IN NORFOLK, CT


Jimmy Herring

Jimmy Herring is hittting
the road with his current line-up, featuring Herring on guitar, drummer Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit,
Jazz is Dead, Shawn Lane), keyboardist Matt Slocum (Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks), and Neal
Fountain
on bass (Col Bruce Hampton, Alex Machacek). Tour dates are below.

The Jimmy Herring Band will be performing a wide range of material, including compositions from Herring’s long-
awaited and much-acclaimed 2008 solo debut Lifeboat.

“The music for the upcoming tour will be a mixed bag. Some stuff from the album and some covers I have always
wanted to play- Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Frank Zappa among others. Hopefully there will be
enough freedom for everyone to relax and have equal creative input. One thing I learned from Bruce Hampton is,
the simpler the music, the easier it is to reinterpret it each time you play it.”

Herring, who toured this summer with drummer Lenny White (Miles Davis, Return To Forever) will be one
of the
headliners at the New Universe Music Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 20-21 as well as performing
there with The Lenny White Group and paying a tribute to guitar icon John McLaughlin with
whom he co-bills the
House of Blues concert in Boston on November 16.

Girl Talk: Extensive 2011 Tour

2011 SHOWS BEGIN IN CLEVELAND IN JANUARY

“Mr. Gillis aims to please. His music is a collage of hits, recent and old, that are instantly recognizable to just about everyone in the crowd. Each one – from Jay-Z to Styx to the Ramones to Missy Elliott to Nirvana – draws a cheer within a few notes. Mr. Gillis samples the songs’ obvious hooks. He isn’t a hipster showing off how deeply he’s dug into his collection; he’s a fellow fan, reactivating remembered pop pleasures.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times

With almost 300 shows under his belt, and hardly a full week off, since Feed The Animals was released in June 2008 and Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) has announced another 40-city tour, all set to take place in 2011 before March is even over!
