South Memphis String Band

The South Memphis String Band—Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), Alvin “Youngblood” Hart (Grammy-winning bluesman) and Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers) —is greatly influenced by the Mississippi Sheiks, Gus Cannon & The Memphis Jug Band and other string bands and jug bands of their ilk, as well as Mississippi Delta and Hill Country blues.
