North Mississippi Allstars' Luther Dickinson surveys the American folk and blues traditions that shaped him across this expansive double album, now collected on metallic gold vinyl exclusive to New West. Blues & Ballads Volumes I & II represents Dickinson's most personal exploration of the music that preceded and inspired his electric work—songs passed down through generations of Southern musicians, interpreted by someone raised in that tradition's living stream.

The acoustic format strips away the hill country blues distortion to reveal Luther's fingerpicking precision and his encyclopedic knowledge of folk song forms. From work songs to murder ballads, spirituals to secular blues, the collection demonstrates how seemingly disparate traditions connect through shared musical language. The metallic gold pressing adds warmth and distinction to a set that deserves special treatment.

For listeners who know Dickinson through North Mississippi's electric intensity, Blues & Ballads reveals his foundation. For folk and blues scholars, here's a contemporary master engaging seriously with source material rather than museum-piece reverence.
