North Mississippi Allstars in Buffalo Thursday...

I've racked my brain to try to think if I've seen them at a festival or something, and if I have, then I just don't remember.. I've heard some of their live stuff, and it's not something I love, but I figured I'd give them a try for free (I never really know if I like a band until I see them live).. Hopefully the weather improves or something. I don't feel like standing in the rain yet again!

When "Shake Hands With Shorty" dropped in 2000, I was immediately hooked. The Allstars blended country and North Mississippi electric Delta blues with the bluesy side of The Allman Brothers. They covered North Mississippi regional legends like Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell and R.L. Burnside. And then they tried writing their songs and listened too much to their famous father. I also think Luther can't pull off rock-styled vocals. He's much better suited with dirty blues.
