NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS SET TO RELEASE
NEW RECORD, HERNANDO, JANUARY 22, 2008
FIRST STUDIO RELEASE ON BAND'S OWN LABEL
 North Mississippi Allstars |
The North Mississippi Allstars are proud to announce the release of their fifth studio record. Entitled, Hernando, the record will be released on January 22, 2008. It is the band's first studio album to be released on their own label, Songs of the South Records.
Hernando also marks the first release since 2005's critically lauded and Grammy-nominated Electric Blue Watermelon. Where EBW was a tribute to the tradition of the Hill Country Blues legacy that has always influenced the band, the brothers Dickinson -- Luther (guitars, vocals) and Cody (drums) -- and bassist Chris Chew, decided to cut the lines from the past with the new record and create their most personal sonic statement to date. To celebrate this newfound unity in independence, they called the record Hernando, which is the name of the town the trio grew up in together.
"This is definitely our most focused record of original music that we've done," says Luther. "This records stands alone... we don't draw as much on our Hill Country roots. We're a blues rock band and set out to make a blues rock record."
Look for the North Mississippi Allstars to launch a national tour in conjunction with the release of Hernando.
