Cody Dickinson & Andy Kaufman Augment Umphreys
While many of us had our eyes firmly planted on New Orleans, Memphis, TN hosted its annual Beale Street Music Festival. North Mississippi Allstars drummer Cody Dickinson was in town and helped Umphreys McGee open its set Sunday by playing washboard on In the Kitchen. His brother Luther also made use of some rare downtime between tours with The Black Crowes and the North Mississippi Allstars and sat in with Steve Selvidge and Paul Taylor during their residency at Memphis Hi-Tone Cafe tonight. Dickinson clocked in a number of months on the road with the blues duo as part of the Jammy nominated Solid Blues Tour (the pair frequently back Jammys veteran Bettye LaVette).
