	Various Artists: Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt - PopMatters Music Review
		But Mississippi John Hurt doesn't need Beck to make him hip, and the versions on this album will persuade no one to listen to Mississippi John Hurt, because they are mostly so deeply and dully inferior to the originals.
		Mississippi John Hurt needs to have the rural vibe of his music emphasized like James Brown's music needs to be arranged by white people to make it more funky.
		Although Mississippi John Hurt was in his seventies when he recorded with producer Patrick Sky, he had lost none of his amazing guitar technique and his wistful, ageless voice is saturated in the illicitly distilled, deep dark liquor of American traditional music.

		For all the blues education Luther and Cody had at the Juke Joint, they were also steeped in teenage punk and the roots-rock they heard in their father's studio.

		While the distribution of this album was limited mainly to the southeastern states, it gained great attention among gospel music listeners during the mid-'80s.
		From the lead guitar-driven "Mississippi Po Boy" to the foot-stomping "Jeremiah," the listener is treated to a very balanced recording.
		While this recording is full of hit selections, it is the lesser-known selections that make this a must for any collector of raw quartet gospel.

	Music \| North Mississippi Allstars Hill Country Revue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Contemporary blues is a nexus of racial, geographic, and cultural connections, and somehow North Mississippi Allstars — guitarist Luther Dickinson, his drumming brother Cody, and bass-playing behemoth Chris Chew — pulled them all together with their Hill Country Revue at this past June’s Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
		But the elder Dickinson’s own "Down in Mississippi" is a drunk-and-rowdy-sounding hoot, and Duwayne brings the funk to his own blues, "Bad Bad Pain." "Friend of Mine" even takes on a hint of Hendrix in its heavy chording and pentatonic solos, which are sweetened and brightened by the attenuated tone of a half-cocked wah-wah pedal.
		The glue, of course, is Luther, Cody, and Chris, who play expertly throughout and deserve to bask in the joy of assembling a historic performance.

	Metroactive Music \| North Mississippi Allstars
		Their rootsy rock is a fusion of Mississippi hill-country blues (as played by the likes of R. Burnside), alt-rock aesthetics and jam-band sensibilities--sort of like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with a whole lot more soulful country blues in the mix.
		Raised in northern Mississippi, the Dickinson brothers--who perform May 22 at the Mystic Theatre--have been involved in some darned fascinating projects of their own.
		They may not be the biggest band in the world, but the Allstars are living up to their reputation for innovative roots music that is setting the standard for modern blues.

	[No title]
		Mississippi John Hurt was rediscovered by the lyrics to his song “Avalon Blues”, specifically his famous lyrics “Avalon’s my home town, always on my mind”, and I have heard different versions of this story.
		By that time I had all of his record albums, and I had been playing guitar in his 3 finger style for many years, having taught myself that unique style, as most of the other local musicians here in the Northwest were Bluegrass flatpickers.
		I have always been interested in the lives of the bluesmen, and when you listen to their recordings you get their music, but not much of the person.

		The sheet music illustrates a broad spectra of music genres, from the ragtime of Scott Joplin to the dixieland of W. Handy to the smooth ballads of Irving Berlin to the stirring patriotic anthems of John Phillips Sousa and George M. Cohan to the early roots of big band sounds.
		In addition to detailing the evolution of American music, these songs bring to life the times, trials, tribulations, and triumphs of a still young nation emerging from the shadows of Civil War and soaring with optimism.
		The music also reflects the fabric of a society struggling to come to terms with an increasingly multi-cultural heritage, its role as an emerging world power, and its vulnerability to erratic economic and political forces.

	Preachin' the Blues - The Music Of Mississippi Fred McDowell By Todd Warnke
		McDowell was born in 1904 in Tennessee but after his parents died in his early teens he took to the road, eventually settling in Como Mississippi, in the northwest corner of the state, falling into the life a weekday farmer and weekend musician.
		It was not until he was 55 that Alan Lomax finally discovered and recorded the man. At that, it took a further five years before the Arhoolie label came looking and McDowell recorded his first full length album.
		Combining the profane and the profound, country, gospel and blues, McDowell showed that Delta-blues remained a vital and authentic musical force.
