North Mississippi Allstars
is a blues-rock/jam band from Hernando, Mississippi, founded in 1996. The band is composed of brothers Luther Dickinson (guitar, vocals) and Cody Dickinson (drums, keyboards, electric washboard), and Chris Chew (electric bass guitar). In addition to the guitar, Dickinson also plays a cigar box guitar called the "lowebow."[specify] Duwayne Burnside, who formerly played second guitar in the band, is a son of country blues legend R. L. Burnside (who also played on some of the band's tracks).
Allstars' first release, Shake Hands With Shorty
, was nominated for a Grammy for "Best Contemporary Blues Album". Since then, 51 Phantom
and Electric Blue Watermelon
have received nominations in that same category. The group also won a W.C. Handy Award for "Best New Artist Debut" in 2001.
The band now backs up and tours with John Hiatt. They have released an album with him entitled Master of Disaster
.
All the members of the Allstars have also teamed up with Robert Randolph and John Medeski to form The Word.
Luther Dickinson replaced The Black Crowes' guitarist Marc Ford in 2007, and played lead guitar for their album Warpaint
.
Cody Dickinson has started a new side project called "Hill Country Revue" featuring Chris Chew, Daniel Coburn, Kirk Smithhart, and Ed Cleveland. They are sometimes joined by Cody's brother, Luther, and members of the Burnside family.
