 The link above is really cool.  Cut and paste the link and it will take you to a page for Keith Richards’ LIFE audio book.  Click on the SAMPLE link below Keith's pic and you'll hear Johnny Depp, using his Pirates of the Caribbean voice (he based his interpretation of the role on Keith), reading about Jim Dickinson's part in one of Keith's adventures.  Amazing!  Who'da thunk that would ever happen? Certainly not Jim.  It’s not Biblical, but I hope he somehow knows about it up in Heaven while he's playing those celestial tunes.  World boogie is coming!

Onward and Upward- Grammy nominated!

     Great news!  Three days after his father's passing, Luther and

Sons of Mudboy recorded an album of Jim's favorite hymns to

memorialize Jim and his legacy. Yesterday, the album called

Onward and Upward was nominated for a Grammy in the category

"Best Traditional Folk Album."  It's got some serious competition,

but win or lose,  as Luther said, "It's enough to know the members

of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Science (NARAS)

nominated it."

     Thanks, guys.

Onward and Upward to read David Fricke's review in Rolling Stone

magazine.

   Here's a song Luther wrote for his dad at the Zebra Ranch studio on

the morning of the session called "Let It Roll."
