His kids, Luther and Cody Dickinson, are founding members of the North Mississippi Allstars Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, James Luther 'Jim' Dickinson (1941 - 2009) was a record producer, piano player, singer and indemand session musician who played piano on the Rolling Stones' 1969 album cut Wild Horses, and contributed to the Flamin' Groovies' 'Teenage Head' in 1971. With the Dixie Flyers, a band he formed in the late sixties, he backed Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave and countless other recording artists at ATLANTIC's Miami-based studio. The Dixie Flyers were guitarist Charlie Freeman, keyboardist Mike Utley, bassist Tommy McClure and drummer Sammy Creason. In Memphis he later led a band called Mud Boy & The Neutrons. By the time Jim Dickinson recorded his first album in 1972, he had already been well-established as a musician and producer. The Dixie Flyers and Dickinson had been signed by ATLANTICRECORDS'Jerry Wexler as the studio house band for almost every ATLANTIC soul recording session (second only to the Muscle Shoals home crew). Also, Wexler signed the band with Dickinson to record an album. 'Dixie Fried' was the result, a unique mix of southern boogie, blues, soul, and country music, a collection of nine handpicked tunes. 'Dixie Fried' is often called a hidden gem, a forgotten masterpiece, a legendary southern, hard-to-find and timeless album of cult status. Every song has its wild and unpredictable charm. An album still sounding fresh today, drawing on the Memphis music that inspired Dickinson to be a musician.
