About the Artist: New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers started in November 2007 with a session between brothers Luther & Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All-Stars, who had known each other for some time, and Jimbo Mathis, formerly of Squirrel Nut Zippers. Through Mavis Staples, he met the legendary Charlie Musselwhite, and later Alvin Youngblood Hart joined the band. Finally, his father, Jim Dickinson, a core member of the Dixie Flyers, the house band at Criteria Studios, also joined, completing the band. Each member brought a song, and they all sat in a large circle in the studio, taking turns singing and improvising, which they then recorded. Jim Dickinson, who was in charge of production, passed away in 2009, and the nearly completed recordings were shelved. Now, however, Stoney Plain Records of Canada has approached Luther about releasing them, and they are finally seeing the light of day. Following the release of VOL.1 in 2020, the full scope of these lost recordings will now be revealed!
