Jim Dickinson, RIP

“During the course of his colorful half-century career, Jim Dickinson built a worldwide reputation as a session player for the likes of Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones, a producer for influential groups including Big Star and The Replacements, a sometime solo artist and the patriarch of a small musical dynasty through his sons, Cody and Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars.

Just last weekend, a tribute concert headlined by singer-songwriter John Hiatt and featuring a host of Memphis musicians was held at The Peabody Skyway to help defray Dickinson’s medical costs.” [Commercial Appeal] Video below…
