North Mississippi Allstars

And we did a couple of Lucero picnics over in Arkansas, but then in 2015, we ended up moving it over to Minglewood, which is where it's been ever since.

And I think that year in 2015, I think Robbie Grant actually played it, and Marcella and her lovers, The North Mississippi All-Stars played that year, too.

And so that was kind of the first real Midtown Memphis Lucero block party.

And we've had great shows almost every year since then.

My drummer and bass player from APB, or down in Asheville, and they agreed to get back together and work with me.

And I'm trying to get Audley Freed, who I played with the North Mississippi All-Stars up in New York when we did another one for Woody's show.

And he's just an amazing lead guitarist.

He was in the band Cry Love and just really, really amazing.

Lord, if I can be your king man, I ain't gonna be your dog.

The North Mississippi Allstars with Drinking Muddy Water from their 2000 album, Shake Hands with Shorty.

And before that, Reed Turchi with Keep on Drinking from the album Road Ends in Water, which was originally released in 2012, but it's just been re-released.

Well, these are the lucky losers.

And the musical birthright is passed to the talented and able sons of the original group.

Ben Baker, Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, Steve Selvidge of the Hold Steady and Bash and Pop, are joined by friends Paul Taylor on bass, Luke White singing harmony vocals, George Schleppeg on drums, and Art Edmondson and Mark Franklin on horns.

And thus the Mudboy tradition, sacred to so many in this city, lives on in a beautiful way.

Here are the Sons of Mudboy live on Beale Street Caravan.

In fact, it was Furry Lewis who gave the group their name Mudboy and the Neutrons were steeped in the Memphis maverick tradition forged by men like Sam Phillips, and as such, left an indelible mark on the Memphis counterculture scene of the '60s.

Band members Lee Baker, Jimmy Crosswaite, legendary producer Jim Dickinson, and Memphis folk hero Sid Selvidge continued their musical concept over the decades and began incorporating their sons into the act, passing down the sacred forms of music to them.

Now that Lee, Jim, and Sid are no longer with us, their sons Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, Steve Selvidge of The Hold Steady, and Ben Baker continue the tradition alongside original member Jimmy Crosswaite under the moniker Sons of Mudboy.

Are y'all following us? It's kinda complicated, we know.

And I was one of the 10, thank God.

And Robert Randolph and a bunch of other, the North Mississippi All-Star guys, Cody and Luther.

And Dwayne was on that list.

And anyway, the gig got moved because it got too big.
