Biography of Jim Dickinson, Memphis underground icon. With Ernest Suarez, editor.
A biography from the musician and producer for whom the blues, Elvis, and early rock 'n' roll forced a rejection of racial barriers and spurred contributions to the Memphis music and experimental art scene.
Review Quotes:
A memoir of sorts by the late Memphis musical legend, Dickinson (1941-2009) may not be a household name, but in those households where he is, he is revered: session pianist for the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and other luminaries; producer for Ry Cooder, the Replacements, and Alex Chilton; patriarch of the North Mississippi Allstars. He's also a world-class storyteller, from the evidence here, a mix of homespun philosophy, hipster poetry, ribald anecdotes, and humanizing reminiscences about pretty much everyone who was anyone in southern musical circles.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Review Quotes:
Despite the ups and downs, in I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone, Dickinson humorously reveals the secrets to finesse and savor a satisfying life following musical passions.--Dematt Harkins "Clarion-Ledger"
Review Quotes:
Jim Dickinson's stories are healing.--Jana Hoops "Clarion-Ledger"
Review Quotes:
The information and insights that Dickinson's story covey make for fascinating reading about a marvelous period in American music, but what really brings the book to life is the narrative voice that he constructs.--Robert H. Cataliotti "Living Blues, Aug. 2017"
Review Quotes:
Named for his self-generated epitaph and detailing his life up to 1972 in the literary equivalent of his grinning trickster drawl , I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone details an essential chapter of rock and roll history.--Tim Stegall "Austin Chronicle"
