LINER NOTES
The Mississippi Hill Country stretches along Rabbit Ridge from Coldwater Bottoms to Holly Springs. The region has produced it's own unique musical tradition. The endless boogie of the hill country blues has passed down like a family business father to son three and four generations deep back to slavery.

Throughout the work of blues scholar Robert Palmer and Fat Possum Records the world discovered the art of R.L. Burnside and the late, great Junior Kimbrough. This CD was produced as my sons learned the music. "When the concept was pure...," as Luther says. Drawn from Mississippi Fred McDowell and R.L. Burnside with the churning syncopation of Otha Turner's Rising Star Fife and Drum Band, it was recorded with due respect.

Time passes and people change.
Junior's juke joint is burned to the ground. The world of Otha Turner is passing away, but it will not be gone. Like images scratched on the rock walls of prehistoric caves, the recordings are a communication with the future, our immortality. This record is an act of communion, though separated by space and time, as you listen we are together.

"World Boogie is coming!"

James Luther Dickinson
Independence, Mississippi
