North Mississippi Allstars ‘Live in the Hills II’ is the second release in their Bootleg Series.
The live recording was taken at the annual North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic in Potts Camp, MS on June 24, 2011.
Moving into much rootsier territory than their former punk band DDT, brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson formed the North Mississippi Allstars in ’96 with bassist Chris Chew. The sons of legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson were born in Fayette County, TN, and their family later moved to northern Mississippi, where the boys soaked up the country blues sound of the region from artists like Mississippi Fred McDowell and R.L. Burnside. That became the chief inspiration for NMA, but the group also mixes in a rock edge, an alternative aesthetic (comparable to outfits like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the Black Keys), and a road-ready rock & roll sensibility akin to jam bands like Phish.
