about
James Luther Dickinson is Jim Dickinson's performing alter ego. Dickenson gained fame as record producer/session musician for Ry Cooder, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Replacements, and many others. As a recording artist however he has only released three studio albums over the course of 34 years. On his latest; "Jungle Jim & The Voodoo Tiger" he is backed, as he was on "Free Beer Tomorrow", by sons Cody and Luther Dickinson, along with Chris Chew (whom you might collectively know as The North Mississippi Allstars). Artist Biography below via AllMusic - by Craig Harris. The name James Luther Dickinson may not be well-known but the sound of his piano and organ certainly are. Together with his group the Dixie Flyers, house band at the Atlantic-owned Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, FL, Dickinson accompanied such stellar artists as Aretha Franklin, Carmen McRae, Delaney & Bonnie, Dee Dee Warwick, Jerry Jeff Walker, Ronnie Hawkins, Sam & Dave, Sam the Sham, Brook Benton, Lulu, and (Little) Esther Phillips. His piano playing was also heard on recordings by the Flaming Groovies, Albert King, Ronnie Milsap, Eric Quincy Tate, Petula Clark, Maria Muldaur, and Duane Allman. Dickinson has been equally effective as a producer. Since making his production debut with Dan Penn's Emmet the Singing Ranger Live in the Woods, he's gone on to oversee recordings by Ry Cooder, Alex Chilton, Jason & the Scorchers, Green on Red, the Replacements, Primal Scream, Mudhoney, and
