Fans of roots music are in for a nice surprise with the release of a collaboration album between the North Mississippi Allstars and Anders Osborne, "Freedom & Dreams."
Branded as a release by North Mississippi Osborne, the album pairs to of the South's top guitarist, Hernando's Luther Dickinson and New Orleans' Osborne.
"Freedom and Dreams is extremely honest and captures NMO's relaxed chemistry so well, most of these songs did not even have a proper count off or beginning," said Dickinson in a release. " We were interested in combining Anders' singing and songwriting with NMA's groove and aesthetic to create something unique that neither of us could do without the other — a type of modern Southern folk rock."
Dickinson describes the Allstars' version of modern rock as "primitive modernism" that combines blues guitar with danceable beats, in attempt to make the music he learned from Hill County greats R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, more palatable to a younger generation.
Osborne, who was recently named the Crescent City's best guitarist by the readers of Offbeat Magazine for the third year in a row, fell under the spell of Bob Dylan, Ray Charles and other American musical icons as a teenager. Since relocating to New Orleans in 1985 he has distinguished himself as a songwriter — penning tunes for Keb' Mo', Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw (the number one hit "Watch the Wind Blow") and others — and singer of the highest caliber.
