Free Music Notes for Jungle Jim and the Voodoo Tiger
Free Music Review: Another Dickinson family outing.
Hit: 5 Stars
James Luther Dickinson is the patriarch for the first family in American roots music. From his many keyboard contributions with the Dixie Flyers in the early 70's, to his production/player credits with the Stones, Ry Cooder, Mud Boy and the Neutrons- to his sons, the North Mississippi Allstars, Dickinson has devoted a lifetime to creating timeless, quality music.
"Jungle Jim" is unique, even for an artist as heterogeneous as Dickinson. His first two solo projects included both known and obscure Memphis stompers, but his latest focuses more on instrumental interplay( ("Rooster Blues", "Samba De Orfeo") and soulful grooves (Violin Bums", "Out of Blue"). As on 2002's "Free Beer Tomorrow", Dickinson pays tribute to Eddie Hinton with one of his compositions, "Can't Beat the Kid". Dickinson is backed by his sons, Cody and Luther of the North Mississippi Allstars throughout, along with violinist Tommy Burroughs, saxophonist Jim Spake, and on two tracks, Alvin Youngblood Hart.
Acoustic bassist Amy Lavere supplies the perfect support for Dickinson's brand of eclecticism. In addition to her musical talents, she portrayed Wanda Jackson in the 2005 movie "Walk the Line", and has also appeared in "Black Snake Moan". Her second album, " Anchors and Anvils", was produced by Dickinson and will be released May of this year.
Once again, Dickinson has scored a winner with his own- AND his extended Memphis family. Do not pass this one up.
Jungle Jim and the Voodoo Tiger Poster
Memphis soul meets Mississippi juke joint in the music of down-home piano legend James Luther Dickinson. Though Dickinson has had more credits as a producer--for the Replacements and his sons in the North Mississippi Allstars--and as a session musician (for the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Ry Cooder), he brings that same rough-hewn passion at the expense of polish to his own music. The album-opening "Red Neck, Blue Collar" is a populist anthem, while the balladry of "Violin Bums," "Out of Blue," and "Somewhere Down the Road" plumbs the depths of Dickinson's soulfulness. From the greasy groove of "Love Bone" to the sounds of the Brazilian street corner on the closing "Samba de Orfeo," Dickinson and band (featuring Allstar sons Luther on guitar and Cody on drums) cover a lot of territory, with arrangements augmented by fiddle, baritone sax, and chorus harmonies. Though Dickinson didn't write any of the material, he puts his musical signature on all of it. --Don McLeeseBlues Music CDs
