​New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers (from the album New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Vol 1 available on Stony Plain Records)
A dozen years ago, musicians gathered for a jam. The sessions were completed in 2008 and the production was completed in 2009 before producer and band member Jim Dickinson’s passing. The 2008 sessions began when brothers Cody and Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi All Stars) sat for a jam with Jimbo Mathus (solo, Squirrel Nut Zippers), Charlie Musselwhite, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and their dad, Jim Dickinson, producer, piano player, and all-around musical maestro. The songs were collected over a series of late nights, the band sitting in a circle, the recording perfectly capturing the in-the-studio groove for the cover cuts collected on New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Vol 1. The album opens featuring Charlie Musselwhite’s harmonica with “Baby, Why You Worry Me”, slowly the rhythm to a smoldering rumble underneath Jimbo Mathus for “Night Time”, toe-tapping for the Front porch Folk that Alvin Youngblood Hart puts into “Stop and Listen Blues”.
 
Band leader cues along the lines of ‘okay, somebody else play’ accent and endear New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers and the beautifully chaotic music they create when Jim Dickinson takes the lead on “Come on Down to My House” while he stomps and hollers out a version of “Let’s Work Together”. Sonically, New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Vol 1 is a joy. The loose rhythms and playful leads testament to the talent and innovations of the band. New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers are street corner buskers when Alvin Youngblood Hart trots out “Pony Blues” as he stays behind the microphone for a feral version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Stone Free”. Charlie Musselwhite gets his mojo working walking through “Strange Land” as he hums over the raw Folk of “K.C. Moan” while New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers follow Jimbo Mathus as he shouts outs the band name dance step ‘jelly roll’ in “Shake It and Break It”.
