North Mississippi Allstars Are ‘Still Shakin’’ On New Album

North Mississippi Allstars will release their 12th studio album, Still Shakin’, through New West Records on June 6. Co-founding brothers, guitarist Luther Dickinson and drummer Cody Dickinson, shared the album’s title track and a batch of new tour dates.

The follow-up to NMA’s 2022 album, Set Sail, was co-produced by the Dickinson siblings. The pair recorded Still Shakin’ with current touring bandmates, guitarist Joey Williams of The Blind Boys of Alabama and multi-credited multi-instrumentalist Rayfield “Ray Ray” Holloman.

Next generational guests appearing across the 11-track album include Robert Kimbrough (son of Junior Kimbrough), Duwayne Burnside (son of R.L. Burnside) and Grahame Lesh (son of Phil Lesh). Other contributors include Kashiah Hunter on steel guitar and keyboardist JoJo Hermann of Widespread Panic.

Inspired by the roots of their 2000 debut album Shake Hands With Shorty, the band’s approach to their upcoming LP was explained by Luther Dickinson:

“Still Shakin’ is a celebration of our life-changing first album, which we released 25 years ago, and a love letter of appreciation to everyone who supported us and kept us in the game all these years. Touring this album cycle into 2026 will mark 30 years since we started North Mississippi Allstars, and we couldn’t resist commemorating those anniversaries with a new record.

“In the spirit of our debut, we recorded Mississippi classics that despite inspiring us to start the band in 1996, we have yet to record. We also wanted to feature our fantastic bandmates Joey Williams and Rayfield ‘Ray Ray’ Hollman who inspire us to no end. Their contributions elevate NMA to new heights …

“We are proud to represent the Memphis Music Underground, the Community of North Mississippi musicians and be a part of the modern-day touring culture. We always keep one eye on the road ahead, in the moment at hand, while anticipating the future.

“The other eye is on the rear-view mirror, reflecting the elders and their repertoire night after night. Our music evokes home, which is nice, since we travel so much. The locations change but music itself is our constant. We look forward to the next 25 years of North Mississippi World Boogie.”
