| Another strong set from the NMAS boys. A good example of their blues-driven live act. Enjoy the CD, but do yourself a favor. Go see them when they come around. |

| I am a big fan of NMA but I have to say I was a bit dissapointed in this cd. It just seemed "flat". It did not have the energy of some of their stuff. Probably would not reccomend it. |

 Luther is a guitar GOD!

This is an INDISPENSABLE album for all NMA fans!! It's not just some boring, run of the mill outtakes and bootleg-quality live recordings, it's all STELLAR-sounding live NMA at their best! And a DVD documenting their history to boot! A true treasure for all blues-rock fans!!
Luther Dickinson is one of the top guitarists on the scene today! Most guitar fans would probably say the same after listening to their previously recorded albums, but after listening to this one, it leaves all doubts out the window...fantastic guitar playing. Of course, Cody and Chris are rock solid as ever, but Luther really shines on this CD. He whips out some Hendrix stuff that is absolutely jaw dropping--you will swear you're listening to Hendrix himself--but at the same time he adds his own little touches. Luther already has a very distinctive style of his own on the guitar--he just salutes Hendrix on the side every once in a while on record--but man, can he play it!! On Disc 2 he just kills on "Hear My Train A Comin", but on Disc 1, he actually Hendrixizes on one of the standard R.L. Burnside cuts--that REALLY blew me away...
The NMA are a band that rivals ANYBODY else on the blues/rock/jam scene today, but they are very down to earth and appreciative of their fans at the same time, always willing to stick around and chat with lingering fans and shake hands with anybody--none of that rock star "meet and greet but only if you have a ticket" crap. I went to one of their shows at a local club a couple of months ago, and it just felt like a big party with your buddies in a band up there playing for you. Only in this instance the band is one of the best out there today! This 3-disc set is a deal you can't pass up!!! |

Veteran, Talented Blues-Rock Musicians
Submitted on: 2009-02-17 |

The North Mississippi Allstars are veteran musicians who play standards and originals with imagination and energy. This CD offers a generous selection of tracks recorded at the band's many live performances over a ten-year period.
This band is tight and well-rehearsed, and its members have a good ear for authentic Mississippi roots blues music. In fact, they highly skilled at playing electric urban blues music convincingly. But overall, the group leans a bit more in the blues-rock direction and thus might be classified as a Southern Rock blues band.
The foundation of any song is rhythm, and more specifically the division of the beat. To give an example of how the Southern rock influence often guides the All Stars' approach to a song, the traditional shuffle blues "Someday Baby" is interpreted here in straight-eight time, the cornerstone rock rhythm.
The All Stars' rhythm section handles the standard variety of rhythms, including blues shuffles ("61 Highway"), straight-eight time ("Freedom Highway"), and sixteenth-note based rhythms ("Got My Mojo Working"), with taste and ease.
The influence of Billy Gibbons, Johnny Winter, Jimmy Vaughan and others can be heard in the solos (but that is not to say the fine solos aren't original). And the Lowebow cigar box guitar is a real pleasure to hear.
This would be a good CD for any fan of rock music, rock blues, or Southern rock. Even some electric urban-blues traditionalists might be quite pleased listening to this excellent group. There is a generous amount of good material here-not a bad song in the batch-and the price is a bargain.
Congratulations to the North Mississippi Allstars for their considerable talent and longstanding dedication to playing with verve and originality. |

| This is a must have for any fan of the North Mississippi Allstars. The documentary DVD that accompanies the two CD set is excellent. A good insight into the band and what make these guys tick. The music is top notch as well with something from just about every previous album plus some nice covers. Including the DVD, you get three discs worth of great music, this is good deal - buy it! |
