Southern Rock ov Today, Y'all:
North Mississippi Allstars will release Set Sail on January 28th via New West Records. The 10-song set was produced by Luther and Cody Dickinson and follows their Grammy Award Nominated 2019 album Up and Rolling, which was met with wide critical acclaim. Set Sail
features appearances by Stax Records legend William Bell on the album standout “Never Want To Be Kissed” (which Bell also co-wrote and co-produced).
...Over the years, the lineup has shifted by design, and with Set Sail, they mined the talents of Jesse Williams on bass and Lamar Williams, Jr., the son of Allman Brothers bassist Lamar Williams, Sr, on vocals. During the Allman Betts Band Family Revival, the Dickinsons first linked up with Lamar, becoming fast friends and collaborators, paving the way for Set Sail.
...(Luther)continues, “Each generation has to reinvent itself and shed the skin of the elders. On Set Sail, we feel as if we’ve once again ‘broken the code,’ and know what we want and how to get it.”
...Set Sail continues the band’s tradition of creating roots music that displays remarkable variety. The record sizzles with hard yet understated groove, grown folk music. Luther’s wide-ranging guitar style features jazz riffs, psychedelic sounds, and soulful slide. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Cody draws on roots music, rock, jazz, rap, and other styles to create rhythms that propel the band’s sounds and move it forward. Their two aesthetics combine to create the band’s unique style, “Primitive Modernism,” melding the new and the old. Luther notes, “We leaned into our other greatest influences: folk, soul, and psychedelic rock, but everything we play feels like North Mississippi.”

On April 7, 1972, the Alllman Brothers Band performed at Manley Field House on the Syracuse University campus. More than half a century later, a recording of the concert is finally being released as a live album.

The Allman Brothers Band announced “Manley Field House, Syracuse University” will be released Jan. 12, 2024, on CD and digital. The tracklist features 11 songs, including hits “Midnight Rider” and “Whipping Post” alongside a previously unreleased track called “Syracuse Jam.”

“Syracuse Jam” is described as an example of the one-time melody jamming the band was famous for and is unique in that it does not appear in any other known ABB recording.

“This night saw Gregg singing and playing his heart out, while Dickey Betts is doing phenomenal double duty on guitar, switching seamlessly between the necessary slide parts and his own soaring leads,” Jeff Chard, SU concert coordinator in 1971-72, writes in the album’s liner notes. “But the real revelation of the night is that Berry is the glue, and the second lead player as well. His thunderous bass holds the quintet together – you’ll hear it, and we could see it that night. Then there is the way Butch Trucks and Jaimoe lock in on the drums, the way the whole unit responds, five playing as one.“

Yeah---I saw the Tuscaloosa show on this tour: vibrant and eerie, sad and joyous---there's also at least one legit release w this line-up, live in Atlanta, and Berry is indeed playing incredible stuff.
