TV appearances on Leno and CBS morning show Keep On Giving: Acoustic Live!, recorded during their Acoustic Brotherhood tour, in stores Relix raves in their review of Hill Country Revue “The Dickinsons have always kept one foot in the Mississippi Hill Country. Though the region’s musical patriarchs have passed on since the Brothers’ North Mississippi Allstars led a generation-spanning Bonnaroo jam— dubbed Hill Country Revue—Cody Dickinson’s formed a bona fide band under that moniker, switching from the drums (his Allstars role) to guitar (brother Luther’s usual gig). The group named its second album in two years, Zebra Ranch, for the Dickinsons’ late father’s studio. Yet, it is not a Hill Country blues tribute as much as it is a Southern hard rock album. The band’s muscular guitar attack yields formidable riffs during “Chalk It Up” and “Bottom $,” while the instrumental title track shifts from an iron-clad unison lick into a Meters-style groove. Daniel Coburn’s vocals have more stiffness than swagger, but that’s almost beside the point, which is, clearly, to rock.” - RELIX, December 2010 Peter Wolf catches up with the Wall Street Journal “Fans around the world who heard or saw Peter Wolf’s hot-charged vocal attack through the 17 years he fronted the much loved and admired J. Geils Band couldn’t help but be aware of his passion for both hardcore urban blues and soul music. It lurked in his every phrase and gesture, from the band’s early ‘70s genre hits (“Love-Itis,” “Must of Got Lost”) to the breakout global pop smashes of the ‘80s (“Love Stinks,” “Centerfold,” “Freeze-Frame”). But “Some Things You Don’t Want to Know”—a fiddle-driven duet with Steve Earle on Mr. Wolf’s acclaimed 2002 solo release, Sleepless—now looks like an indicator of another, lesser-known side of the rocker’s roots influences and passions: his longstanding love of country music. Mr. Wolf’s new release Midnight Souvenirs, released last month on Verve/Universal, uncloaks that relatively hidden interest by means of three duets with highly individual, genre-hop- ping singers that have substantial, if varying, degrees of “country” in their résumés: Neko Case, the alternative-country exponent turned indie rock star; Shelby Lynne, the mainstream country singer turned masterly soul and jazz ballad interpreter; and Merle Haggard, the formidably jazzy but unabashedly country legend. The fact is, Mr. Wolf had an under-the-radar stand as a contracted Nashville songwriter in the ‘80s. “To me,” he explained in a recent phone conversation, “country’s an obvious kind of leap once you get sanctified into the world of rock ‘n’ roll, and it overtakes you like it overtook me—when I first heard Little Richard, Elvis and then Johnny Cash. I started to find out where they came from, their influ- ences. And for me, it seems like the honky-tonks that were home for country artists like Buck Owens, Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell were simply made for one kind of blue-collar culture and ethnicity, just as the juke joints were for the African-Americans who also were working in fields and mills and mov- ing up North to get more work. I don’t see any difference, finally, between Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters, whom I met and even became friends with when I got deep into blues, and their tremendous sense of both tradition and the present, and George Jones or Hank Williams.” For all of his historic abandon on stage and disc, Mr. Wolf proves a thoughtful, appreciative student and commentator on virtually every corner of American popular-music history and performance. He makes some lucid, relevant points about vocal range and its effects: “Merle Haggard is simply one of my favorite singers. For one thing, I’m kind of a baritone myself. Baritones were pretty common in the era of the crooners—Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole. Then came rock ‘n’ roll, and Elvis and Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis were all tenors, as were even the Beatles and Mick Jagger. Tenors just seemed to take over. But in Merle, there’s that quality of richness that a baritone has, and an intimacy and command and distinction that I would put on a par with Sinatra. A lot of my audience might only know Merle as ‘that guy who sang “Okie from Musk- ogee,”’ but that’s like saying Sinatra is ‘the guy who did “New York, New York”’ because that’s all you know. Merle’s an international treasure—period.” The twang connection was already there when young Peter Wolf, Bronx-raised, began appearing with the band the Hallucinations around Boston and Cambridge, Mass., in the mid-’60s, in a scene that included not just folk’s famed Club 47 and the R&B-oriented Sugar Shack, but also the Hillbilly Ranch. Among those who caught his shows was Gram Parsons, who would soon be working with their mutual friend, Barry Tashian, in an early version of the protocountry-rock International Submarine Band.
