Luther Dickinson


Born: Western Tennessee

January 18, 1973

Genre Style: Rock Blues


Luther Dickinson is an incredible guitarist, singer, and producer who really channelled the spirit of the Deep South when he co-founded the North Mississippi Allstars. Growing up as the son of the legendary Memphis producer and musician Jim Dickinson, music was practically in Luther's DNA. He spent his formative years soaking up the raw, hypnotic hill country blues vibe directly from local icons like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. In 1996, he and his brother Cody hitched up to form the Allstars, blending those old-school acoustic blues traditions with a heavy dose of psychedelic rock, jam-band energy, and funk. They instantly shook up the roots music scene, landing multiple Grammy nods and turning their live shows into legendary, high-octane celebrations.
Outside of the Allstars, Luther has been all over the rock and roots world as a go-to collaborator. He spent a killer four-year stretch as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes, ripping solos on records like Warpaint and touring the world. He’s also the kind of guy who can't sit still creatively; he’s jumped into supergroups like The Word, dropped soulful solo acoustic projects, and produced a ton of records for up-and-coming roots artists. Whether he’s sliding on a cigar box guitar or keeping the traditional sounds of Mississippi alive, Luther is all about keeping the music honest, loose, and moving forward.
