NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS - "Shake Hands With Shorty" (2000)

 
Not only was Jim Dickinson a brilliant producer and musician, but he also had some really incredibly talented kids, and that's where this album from 2000 titled "Shake Hands With Shorty" by the North Mississippi Allstars comes into play.
This is about the most high powered blues that you're ever going to hear, and they still manage to include classic instrumentation like the penny whistle.
This song was written by the legendary Mississippi Fred McDowell.
I really hope to see Cody and Luther Dickinson perform some day, just not some place where they expect you to sit still.
If this doesn't pump you up, I don't know what will!
Seriously, turn it up!!
