'I knowed the Mississippi Sheiks. Yessir. Walked ten miles to see them play. They was high-time...makin' them good records, man.' - Muddy Waters
Between 1930 and 1935, The Mississippi Sheiks were the top selling group of its time, largely due to their hit Sitting On Top if the World, also recorded by Cream, Bill Monroe, Howlin' Wolf and many more.
Recorded and produced by Juno Award winning producer Steve Dawson, in Seattle, Vancouver, Ottawa and New York, this project fulfills a dream of Dawson's to pay tribute to the work of this unique and historic group.
Features exclusive recordings by Bruce Cockburn, Madeleine Peyroux, John Hammond, Kelly Joe Phelps, The North Mississippi Allstars, Oh Susanna with Van Dyke Parks, Bill Frisell, Robin Holcomb, Jim Byrnes, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, and more. Each track is specifically for this project and does not appear on any other release.
Rather than recreate the music, Dawson looked for artists who could re-interpret the music in interesting and refreshing ways. Ranging from traditional to the avant-garde, this tribute stands above others in quality and scope, and features artists well-known in blues, jazz, pop and rock genres.
Dawson enlisted a house band throughout the Seattle sessions to provide a coherency to the recordings. Featuring jazz legend Wayne Horvitz (John Zorn, Zony Mash) playing keyboards, Keith Lowe (Bill Frisell/Fiona Apple) on bass and Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie, Peter Gabriel) on drums, this incredible band backed up a number of the artists in a marathon session.
