Luther Dickinson – Rock ’n Roll Blues (Translucent Green LP Vinyl)
Luther Dickinson plugs back in for Rock 'n Roll Blues, an album that honors the electrified blues tradition that transformed acoustic folk forms into the foundation of rock and roll. This New West exclusive translucent green vinyl captures Dickinson at his most powerful, channeling the spirit of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and the Chess Records architects who proved that blues could move bodies as well as souls.
The album balances original compositions with covers that reveal Dickinson's influences—the songs he learned from his father Jim's collection and the players who passed through the Dickinson family studio over the decades. The green vinyl adds visual pop to a set that burns with the intensity of a late-night blues club set, when the band has nothing to prove and everything to play for.
For North Mississippi Allstars fans, Rock 'n Roll Blues delivers the electric approach in concentrated solo form. For blues purists, here's a younger generation engaging authentically with the tradition rather than merely imitating it.
