Up and rolling

"Up and Rolling clears away decades of cobwebs, dust, and wisteria vines from the doorway to the past: It's a family reunion offering that looks to the Hill Country's history and mystery for both its inspiration from the past and guidance to its present".

"Think the physical CD medium is dead? Pick up a copy of this 11th studio album from the journeymen North Mississippi Allstars and show the streamers what they're missing ... It's an album that both looks backward and forward, reprising the dusky feel of the music that first inspired the Dickinson brothers to start their band while pushing it into electric boogie and even psychedelic directions its founders might not have imagined".

"When North Mississippi Allstars, along with Jason Isbell, sing "Well, it's a mean old world / When you try to live it by yourself," it sums up the collaborative, communal nature of both the band and this album. The history, musical heritage, Mississippi lifestyle and photographic inspiration behind 'Up and Rolling' make this a work of joy and elevate the record above the ordinary. It's full of melody and musicianship and the listener can feel the delight the players took in performing together. This is an album to lose yourself in".
