Luther gets all the love due to that 335 magic, but Cody is immersed in all aspects of music. Playing, multi instrumentalist, production, engineering, these guys are just badass.
For the record.....I believe I pulled this version from the Shake Hands with Shorty album. The pause between Po Black Maddie and Skinny Woman is slightly incorrect as I had to copy these two tracks and then combine the two with software. I couldn't just copy the two tracks as one. The real version on the album is better in the transition. And yes RL Burnside did it first (which I probably have at least a FEW copies of), I tend to admire NMAs revision. Not that one is better, just that NMA absorbed the soul of these songs and properly gave credence to them in their recording......that is all.....back to work now.
Oh, I definitely like the original/RL Burnside's Poor Black Maddie better, but I'm so glad people are keeping this music alive. I will absolutely be checking this band out. Raw, dirty, southern blues for LIFE.
FYI- This recording was from 20 years ago, just before they toured with Wide Spread Panic. The album was called "Shake hands with Shorty" - They still put on a great live show and are well worth the face value of the ticket. - Say no to scalpers. - LEG - aka LEFTEYEGIBBY
@bson9146 Thank you! Man, this is so good. I may even like it better than Burnside now ... but I just wish there were more of this all the time everywhere.
Finally the studio verson has been posted! NMA are such an underrated and extremely talented band and yet others with blues tinged music (eg Black Keys & White Stripes) have much more acclaim... Now if somebody could also post their version of Casey Jones...
Music is the experience enjoy the moment Fantastic guitar.. Great production value.. *)o(* let each artist be who they are an appreciate the talent they express..*)o(*b...
Seen these guys in early 2000's, opening @ the Paramount theater in Seattle, WA, n' lemme tell yees, I was un-flatly astounded, SMAA flat BLEW shit up, jus' bashed, beat n' crater-faced the headliners skulls ta' bitz before they even got out n' played!...HA! Even the total energy of the crowd>band interface seemingly went dead after SMAA's set ended Shit, I was satiated, satisfied n' ready to bounce tha show after they hung it up onna peg, before closer/headliner even hit its first note.... ~Had ta' kind feel for "Oysterhead". Sheesh!. .Talked about: Kick'd Outta Tha Bar before ya even see yer first drink eh?...;) (O.H: Trey Anastasio, Stuart Copeland & Less Claypoole's own project)
Yeah, my fav version I think. Got to see them live at the Cambridge folk festival, England... Before it was sold out to an organisation who want to dumb it down and take it mainstream. Sigh...
R.L . is definitely more rootsy and I love his stuff, but Luther Dickenson is clearly the better musician. doesn't matter anyway R. L. Burnside supports this cover and even tours with the band sometimes
Hi. From new Zealand
Love your Northen Mississippi locks. Chris harp
Kiwi you're welcome anytime in the Memphis area.
Luther gets all the love due to that 335 magic, but Cody is immersed in all aspects of music. Playing, multi instrumentalist, production, engineering, these guys are just badass.
and Cody's drum cadences are so spot on, he's a badass for sure
Well done. Guitarist and drummer are spot on.

Agreed. And with the NMAS live performances, I love the arrangements with lots of Chris Chew on background vocals for Skinny Woman.

They grew up across the fence from R.L. Burnside. They are the real deal...

I really like this version, can someone tell me where I can find it? It's not on itunes
Damn take my broken body n soul away with you all ! Thank you flint mi
not to be a dick but this version just sounds too uptight and studied. check out R.L. - his sh*t is incredible.
R.L . is definitely more rootsy and I love his stuff, but Luther Dickenson is clearly the better musician. doesn't matter anyway R. L. Burnside supports this cover and even tours with the band sometimes
