Luther Dickinson played four songs for our traveling studio at the Paste East Austin Block Party.
Luther Dickinson joined us at Coral Snake Austin for our Paste East Austin sessions, playing four songs from his newest album,, released last November via New West/Antone’s Records. Produced by Dickinson, it features renditions of favorite songs from his childhood by The Meters, The Staple Singers, John Lee Hooker, Mississippi John Hurt and more.For his first song, Dickinson played “Are You Sure” by the Staple Singers.
“A lot of my current music has breadcrumbs just in case my girls ever wonder where I stand about certain things, or how I feel,” Dickinson added, “if they’re ever curious, they can go find hints and clues in the music.” For his second song, Dickinson played “They All Ask’d for You” by the Meters. As a young kid, his dad would teach him about songwriting and he joked about the song sounding like it was for kids but having crass elements. Metaphor and musical structure was a common topic of conversation between Dickinson and his father, which he hopes to relay onto his kids as well.
Thank you to Luther Dickinson, Coral Snake Austin and our friends at Ilegal Mezcal for helping us put together these sessions. Tune in next week to see more sessions we have in store!June 21, 2024 | 1:37pm
