As legend has it, Luther and Cody Dickinson started North Mississippi Allstars in 1996 as a loose collective of like-minded second-generation musicians who shared a local repertoire and regional style. As sons of legendary producer and musician Jim Dickinson, Luther and Cody have been producing records themselves since they were teenagers. Separately, the brothers have produced albums by Samantha Fish, R.L. Boyce, Lucero, Amy Lavere, the Birds of Chicago, Ian Segal, and more. Luther produced two records from Otha Turner, including Everybody Hollerin’ Goat, which was named one of the ten most important blues albums of the nineties. Luther and Cody co-produce North Mississippi Allstars records as the “Dickinson Brothers.”

Krannert Center for the Performing Arts

Founded by brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson in 1996 as a loose collective of musicians from their North Mississippi home. The brothers were inspired to create the band listening to the music of their father Jim Dickinson and other musical elders from Mississippi like RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Otha Turner, and Fred McDowell.

Luther’s first national tour was the RL Burnside “Ass Pocket of Whiskey Tour” in 1997, selling out shows in the US and Canada. Luther said, “Kenny Brown hired me to tour with RL and Cedric and showed me the ropes. That experience blew my mind. Cody and I have been on the road ever since.”
