The Southern Symphony Unveiled
Mark your calendars, music lovers! On Sunday, September 22, the enchanting world of Southern sounds will collide magnificently with the splendor of art through the release of “Mississippi Murals” — a 12” vinyl gem curated in collaboration with the Walter Anderson Museum of Art (WAMA). This special edition album debuted in alignment with the eighth annual concert conducted by the extraordinary Grammy-nominated musician, Luther Dickinson, of the North Mississippi Allstars.
Music Rooted in History
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill album release; “Mississippi Murals” carries the soul of the South in its grooves. Captured live from the second concert in the series, held since 2016, it encapsulates seven original musical compositions inspired by the iconic mural panels of Walter Inglis Anderson, painted in 1951. Each track breathes life into the lush flora, innocence of fauna, and the grandeur of celestial bodies that define Anderson’s vision — all harmonized by Dickinson’s signature sound.
Meet the Musicians Behind the Magic
The album features a star-studded cast, including the legendary John Medeski, Dominic Davis, and Johnny Vidacovich. With production handled by Dickinson himself and refined by experts like Kevin Houston, “Mississippi Murals” isn’t just an album; it’s an experience! Whether you’re digging through record stores or catching the live concert from 7-10 p.m. on September 22 at WAMA, partake in this expressive homage to Southern landscapes. Preorder it now and let the music resonate in your heart and home!
