Always liked his contributions to many of my favorite musicians/bands. I am sure there is going to be one hell of jam session at the wake/funeral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willywoody Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/aug/15/memphis-musician-jim-dickinson-dies-67/ This is a bummer. Always liked his contributions to many of my favorite musicians/bands. I am sure there is going to be one hell of jam session at the wake/funeral. I never knew much about him until that collaboration he did with Sonic Boom came out last year or so. then I went and looked up his website and it's amazing how many songs and albums he played on or produced that I like, and the variety is mind boggling. http://www.zebraranch.com/index.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 I went to the Lucero show last night and the bass player gave a shout out to Dickinson. I am not familiar enough with Lucero to write what song he dedicated to Dickinson. I did read yesterday that Dickinson produced at least one of their records, so I was hoping that they would mention his passing. It was a great show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 http://blogs.suntimes.com/hoekstra/2009/08/jim_dickinson_takes_a_walk.html A nice piece by Sun-Times' Dave Hoekstra about Dickinson's Chicago connections. Mr. Dickinson's obituaries are missing his Chicago connections. He was born in Little Rock, Ark. When Mr. Dickinson was 6 months old his family moved to Pratt Avenue, just off of North Sheridan, where he lived until he was 9. His father Jim worked for the Diamond Match Co. His mother Martha was a piano player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I heard an interview with him on NPR (Bob Edwards' Weekend) about a year ago. I tried looking for the link, but it appeared that they took the interview down. If anyone can find it, please post the link; it's a great piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
