Cody Dickinson (Solo & North Mississippi Allstars)

For decades, Cody Dickinson has flown the flag for homemade American roots music. From his ongoing work with North Mississippi Allstars – the chart-topping blues/rock band he co-founded with brother Luther Dickinson in 1996 – to his Grammy-winning turn as record producer and film documentarian, he’s become a serial collaborator, working alongside everyone from Robert Plant to Lucero along the way.

Cody turns the tables with Homemade, an expansive and evolutionary album that marks his long-awaited debut as a solo artist. Stacked to the ceiling with southern soul, west coast boogie-woogie, hill country blues, and plenty of ear-candy pop hooks, Homemade redefines his reach as a vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. It also finds him in full-on family mode. Looking to spend more time with his young children, Cody recorded the album at home in Mississippi, where he played every instrument himself and balanced the tracking sessions with his responsibilities as a father of two toddlers.

“I love how it all came together,” Cody says. “This album is very grassroots — it was made at home, around my family, filled with Mississippi blues and southern music — but there’s also a very Hollywood-friendly, showbizzy angle to the story, because that’s where the deal went down. I made this record for me, but I made it for everyone else, too, and I like that it can occupy both of those worlds. It’s big enough to do that.”
